The son of NTV CEO Scott Stirling was shot and killed by police during a traffic stop in Newport Beach, California, on Thursday, April 17.
Geoffrey Shyam Stirling, 45, of Laguna Niguel was driving a motorcycle on West Coast Highway when he was stopped at around 9:15 p.m. by a Newport Beach Police Department officer.
In a post on X, the department said the officer stopped Stirling for a traffic violation and that Stirling became uncooperative and assaulted the officer.
During what was described as a violent altercation, Stirling removed the officer’s taser from their duty belt and attempted to deploy it against the officer multiple times. Police say that’s when the officer-involved shooting occurred.
Additional officers responded to the scene and provided medical aid to Stirling until the Newport Beach Fire Department Arrived. Stirling was taken to a local hospital and later pronounced dead.
In a press release issued on Friday, April 18, California Attorney General Rob Bonta said the California Department of Justice is investigating and will independently review the officer-involved shooting.
The initial investigation is being completed by the Police Shooting Investigation team. Once completed, the matter will be turned over to the Special Prosecutions Section within the Criminal Law Division for an independent review.
