Law enforcement footage has revealed the shocking moment when a 15-year-
old girl who was reported as a kidnapping victim was fatally shot in
California.

Newly released video captured the September 2022 incident when San
Bernadino County Sheriff�s Department deputies were trying to rescue
Savannah Graziano, who instead nded up being shot and killed.

The department had previously refused to release the video and claimed
that they did not know if the teenager had been killed by shots fired by
her father or deputies sent to find her.

The 2022 search for Savannah began after deputies feared that she was
abducted by her father Anthony Graziano after he fatally shot her mother
the previous day in Fontana.

Graziano was considered armed and dangerous as a result of the homicide
and an Amber Alert was issued for Savannah.

After a 45-minute pursuit with Graziano firing at pursuing officers,
authorities were able to corner his vehicle on the side of a freeway in
Hesperia, California.

As the vehicle went offroad a firefight took place with deputies and as
Savannah got out of the vehicle she was shot and killed.

The department said at the time that an investigation had been launched
into who killed her. Officials also said they did not initially realise it
was the 15-year-old girl when she first emerged from the car.

However, newly released footage obtained by The Guardian suggests that
deputies stated it was a passenger who got out of the vehicle and appeared
to be giving her instructions to come towards them.

Footage from the incident was released after a series of requests from
independent journalist Joey Scott, and law enforcement disclosed nearly a
dozen video files, the Guardian reported.

The Press-Enterprise also reported that the files were released by the
sheriff�s department after Southern California News Group filed a
California Public Records Act request 18 months ago.

In one clip taken from helicopter footage, it appears that at least one
deputy shot at Savannah after instructions were shouted for her to move
towards them.

Accompanying audio to the footage shows that one of the deputies directed
Savannah to come over to him before he shouted at other deputies to stop
shooting at her.

�Come here! � Come to me! � Come come come come, walk walk walk walk,� he
shouts towards a �passenger.�

�Hey! Stop! Stop shooting her! He�s in the car! Stop! She�s OK. He�s in
the car! Stop!� the deputy shouts.

The sheriff�s statement describing that audio said: �You can hear [a
deputy] calling her over and telling other deputies that the person who
exited the truck was the passenger and for them to stop firing, but it was
too late.�

The footage, filmed by a California Highway Patrol (CHP) helicopter,
captured Graziano speeding through traffic. Deputies eventually get to him
after he loses traction driving up an embankment.

The audio also appears to remark that it was a girl who got out of the
vehicle.

As the person exited the vehicle, a CHP official on the radio can be heard
saying: �Girl is out, the girl is out, guys. She�s out on the passenger
side.�

The helicopter footage shows Savannah appearing to crouch on the ground
for a number of seconds, before approaching a group of deputies.

The video blurs out Savannah while the CHP officer can be heard saying:
�Oh no�.

At the time of the shooting, officials said it appeared a �subject wearing
tactical gear� got out of the passenger side of the vehicle and ran
towards the deputies.

�That subject starts to run towards sheriff�s deputies, and during the
gunfire goes down,� Sheriff Shannon Dicus said in 2022, adding that
deputies rendered medical aid to the person in the tactical gear, who was
Savannah.

She was taken to a local area hospital where she was pronounced dead; her
father also died at the scene.

Sheriff Dicus also told reporters that the passenger may have also been
firing back at deputies, but the investigation was in the early stages, so
he warned that was preliminary information.

The video footage is not clear enough to see what Savannah was wearing,
nor how many officers shot at her or how many bullets hit her.

The new videos also do not make it clear who fired at police from inside
Graziano�s vehicle and the shooting remains under investigation by the
California Department of Justice.

The Independent has contacted the San Bernadino County Sheriff�s
Department for comment.
