Ricardo Alfonso Cerna committed suicide by shooting himself in the side of his head by a .45-caliber handgun while he was in the interrogation room of the San Bernardino County Sheriff in Muscoy, California. The video is unique in its own way as Ricardo Alfonso Cerna was at police station because he shot a cop twice in the abdomen (non life threatening shots) following the car chase yet the cops who apprehended him failed to do a thorough search so he was left in the interrogation room with a loaded gun.

Ricardo Alfonso Cerna immigrated to the United States from Guatemala. He was stopped on December 19, 2003 by Sheriff’s Deputy Michael Parham for a traffic violation. The idea of a traffic ticket did not appeal to him so he decided to floor the gas pedal and darted off. He was followed by the cops in a high speed pursuit, then when he had no where to go, he jumped out of the car and continued escaping on foot. As the cops were closing in on him, Ricardo Alfonso Cerna pulled out his handgun and shot Sheriff’s Deputy Michael Parham in the abdomen twice, the shots were not fatal.

What started as a silly traffic violation, resulted in involvement of three agencies – the California Highway Patrol, the county sheriff and the San Bernardino Police, the co-operation of which brought Ricardo Alfonso Cerna under arrest. In all this melee, none of the law enforcement officials made sure Ricardo Alfonso Cerna was thoroughly searched and once apprehended, he was taken to the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Office – with his hand gun still behind his belt.

That’s where the video starts. The police station surveillance cameras were rolling as Ricardo Alfonso Cerna was seated inside an interrogation room. He must have asked for a glass of water as the cop who brought him in steps out and then comes back handing the suspect a bottle. Having just finished being busy with his cell phone, the cop walks out of the interrogation room, Ricardo Alfonso Cerna opens the bottle, takes a sip, pulled out the gun, clocks it and without hesitation fires a single shot to his left temple point blank. The video also contains sound so it’s all audible, including the sound of pouring blood as it starts gushing out of his skull. The cop sums it up with: “Oh Fuck!”

Check out the Ricardo Alfonso Cerna video below. The blood pours out of the bullet hole but a great deal also gushes out of his mouth and some from his ear. The video was provided to the media by the police station but was meant to be kept off limits to the public. As it goes, it did leak and is all over internet now. Ricardo Alfonso Cerna gives out a mute scream right after he committed suicide which kind of shows that a bullet to the brain hurts, but the death finds you quickly so the pain doesn’t last too long. I guess the cops can count themselves lucky that Ricardo Alfonso Cerna pointed that gun at himself right away, rather than clearing a few of them out before committing suicide.

Thanks Jeff
