TCSO Detectives Investigating In-Custody Death 

July 22, 2024 – Tulare County Sheriff’s Office officials report that just after 10:00 a.m. on Sunday, TCSO Deputies were called to a home invasion in Strathmore.

When Deputies arrived, they learned the people inside the home were able to restrain the suspect until Deputies arrived and arrested the suspect. During the pre-booking process, it was determined the suspect needed a medical clearance due to erratic behavior and he was taken to Sierra View Hospital. While at the hospital the suspect suffered a medical emergency and passed away. The cause of death is pending an autopsy.

The name of the suspect is not yet being released until next of kin is notified.

This investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Tulare County Sheriff’s Office at 559-733-6218.
