INCIDENT DETAILS On 09-04-15, at approximately 0343 hours, Eric Clarkson called LVMPD Dispatch to report there were at least two males in his backyard and they were possibly armed. Officers Robertson and Grego-Smith were dispatched and responded to 6729 Oveja Circle. Upon Officers Robertson and Grego-Smith’s arrival, they made contact with Clarkson who allowed them into the residence and directed them to the back door, as Clarkson believed the suspects were possibly still in the backyard. Officers Robertson and Grego-Smith formulated a plan to clear the backyard. Officer Grego-Smith drew his firearm and stood to the left of the door while Officer Robertson stood behind him to his right. The backdoor required a key to unlock, so Officer Robertson holstered his gun to use both hands to unlock and open the door.



Event: 150904-0516


As Officer Robertson opened the door, the suspects, later identified as Steven Turner and Clemon Hudson, immediately fired their weapons. Turner, armed with an SKS rifle, fired three times, hitting Officer Robertson once in the right hip. Officer Robertson fell to the floor as Officer Grego-Smith took a kneeling position and returned fire. Officer Grego-Smith fired his weapon 12 times. Hudson fired his shotgun one time. The projectiles travelled over the top of Officer Robertson and struck the east window of the residence. Hudson’s shotgun was struck by one of Officer Grego-Smith’s rounds which jammed the weapon. One of Turner’s rounds ricocheted off the brick patio, fragmented, and hit him in the calf area. Turner fled the area, and Hudson took cover behind a pony wall that separated the patio and the grass area in the backyard. Officer Grego-Smith maintained cover over Robertson until additional officers arrived and performed a down officer rescue. K-9 Sergeant Bitsko, along with K-9 Officers Overson and Hemsey, gave Hudson verbal commands to drop his weapon. Hudson refused to comply with their orders so K-9 Sergeant Bitsko deployed his dog. The dog bit Hudson which allowed officers to approach and take Hudson into custody. Hudson was still in possession of the shotgun and suffered several bites to his hands and head. Hudson was transported to UMC trauma treated and booked into CCDC. Turner was later found at Westcliffe Drive and Upper Hills Court walking in the roadway by two perimeter officers. Turner was taken into custody. Turner was transported to UMC trauma for treatment of his gunshot wound, and later booked into CCDC.

The officers were advised by the homeowner that the armed suspects were in the backyard. The officers formulated a plan to clear the backyard by exiting through the back door of the residence. Officer Robertson looked out the kitchen window and advised he did not see anyone but it was dark. Officer Grego-Smith took a position to the left of the door with his firearm drawn. Officer Robertson had to holster his gun in order to manipulate the key and the doorknob of the back door. Officer Robertson opened the door as Officer Grego-Smith took a kneeling position facing the backyard. As the door opened Officer Grego-Smith heard a gunshot from the outside and Officer Robertson advised he had been hit. Officer Grego-Smith saw a black male standing on the back patio. Officer Grego-Smith fired his weapon approximately eight to ten times. Officer Grego-Smith was unable to see the suspect’s location and posted at the rear door as officers arrived to rescue Officer Robertson.

Event: 150904-0516


Before Officer Grego-Smith arrived, Dispatch broadcasted the subject was in the backyard again and had a firearm.

Officers Grego-Smith and Robertson arrived and both parked their patrol vehicles approximately five houses away from 6729 Oveja Circle and tactically approached on foot. Officer Grego-Smith remained on the front sidewalk as Officer Robertson checked the north backyard gate and found it to be locked. As Officer Robertson checked the opposite gate side on the south side of the house Officer Grego-Smith heard footsteps coming from the backyard. Officer Grego-Smith advised Officer Robertson who then advised Dispatch to have Clarkson let them in to enter the backyard through the house.

Clarkson let the officers into the residence through the front door. As the officers entered, Clarkson advised he still heard someone in the backyard. Officer Grego-Smith advised Clarkson to stay towards the front of the house. There were no lights on inside the residence and as the officers walked toward the rear of the residence they noticed the backyard lights were also off. Officer Robertson looked out the kitchen window, which was to the right of the back door, and advised he did not see anyone.

The officers devised a plan to clear the backyard. Officer Robertson would open the door, which would have to be unlocked with a key, and Officer Grego-Smith would enter the yard. Officer Robertson would follow close behind and both officers would clear the backyard.

Officer Grego-Smith had his gun at the low ready position posted on the left side of the door (which opened in, left to right) and Officer Robertson stood on the right side to manipulate the key and open the door. As Officer Robertson pulled the door open, Officer Grego-Smith remembered taking a step toward the doorway and heard two gunshots fired from outside into the residence. Officer Grego-Smith observed a light skinned black male adult with no shirt standing in the doorway. Officer Grego-Smith stepped back using the wall for cover, crouched to one knee and returned fire eight or nine times. Officer Grego-Smith did not hear any additional shots coming from the backyard and stood up to assess the situation. Officer Robertson advised he had been shot. Officer Grego-Smith asked Officer Robertson if he was able to move out of the doorway and Officer Robertson responded he could not.

Officer Grego-Smith stood in between Officer Robertson and the doorway and gave verbal commands of, “Show me your hands. Don’t move,” to any suspects in the backyard. Officer Grego-Smith was not able to see into the yard because of the darkness but heard a voice say, “Don’t shoot me. Don’t kill me. Don’t shoot me.” Officer Grego-Smith was still not able to see anyone and advised Dispatch that shots had been fired and an officer was down. Officer Grego-Smith verbally comforted Officer Robertson while maintaining his position covering the backyard.

The Air Unit arrived and advised a suspect (Hudson) in the backyard was lying in the prone position with his hands above his head in close proximity to a rifle. Officers arrived and they performed a down officer rescue for Officer Robertson. They formed an arrest team while they waited for a K9 unit to arrive. A K-9 unit arrived and advised Hudson numerous times to walk backwards toward the officers or he would deploy the dog.

Hudson did not respond to the officer’s commands. The dog was deployed and located Hudson which allowed the officers safely take him into custody.

Officer Jeremy Robertson On 09-24-15, at approximately 0935 hours, Detectives Colon and Patton conducted an audio recorded interview with Officer Robertson at his residence. Also present for the interview was PPA representative Officer Yant. The following is a summary of the interview; for complete details refer to the transcript.

Officer Robertson was at Northwest Area Command when he was assigned to a prowler call at 6729 Oveja Circle. Officer Robertson responded along with Officer Grego-Smith. Shortly before their arrival, they were advised the subject was knocking on the front door of the residence. The officers arrived simultaneously and parked approximately four or five houses away from the residence. As the officers approached on foot, they observed the house was dark and there was no one at the front door or surrounding area.

Officer Robertson recalled both the front gate on the north side of the residence and the wall on the south of the residence were fairly high and was not able to see into the backyard. Officer Robertson told Dispatch to advise the homeowner, Clarkson, to let the officers in the front door. As the officers approached the front door Officer Grego-Smith advised Officer Robertson he heard something in the backyard.

Clarkson let the officers in the residence. Officer Robertson noticed it was “pitch black” inside. Officer Robertson looked out of the kitchen window, which is to the right of the backdoor and was not able to see anything.

Officer Robertson noticed the back door utilized a key to unlock the door from the inside. Officer Robertson advised Officer Grego-Smith they should attempt to clear the backyard using the same tactics they would use to clear a room. Officer Robertson and Officer Grego-Smith would stand on opposite sides of the door. Officer Robertson would manipulate the key, open the door as Officer Grego-Smith would enter the yard and Officer Robertson would follow behind. Officer Grego-Smith agreed on the tactic and took his position with his firearm drawn. Officer Robertson asked for a Code Red, unlocked the door and opened it.

Officer Robertson advised detectives that his mind had blocked the incident and his recollection of the incident is foggy. Officer Robertson struggled through this section of the interview but did recall a few things.

Officer Robertson stood to the right of the door, opened it, observed how dark it was and possibly saw two shadows. Officer Robertson took a step to the left to draw his gun and remembered seeing a high powered rifle and heard a pop-like sound. Officer Robertson felt a numbing sensation in his leg and felt that time had slowed. Officer Robertson spun to his left and fell face forward to the ground. Officer Robertson recalled hearing gunfire and heard Officer Grego-Smith broadcasting shots fired over the radio.

Officers arrived and carried Officer Robertson out of the residence. Officer O’Neil retrieved Officer Robertson’s gun from his holster for safekeeping.
