Sheriff Boudreaux has identified the TCSO Deputy shot and killed this morning during an Officer Involved Shooting in Porterville as 35-year-old Randy Hoppert, a six-year-veteran of the Tulare County Sheriff’s Office.

Around 10:20 a.m. on 4/9/26, TCSO Deputies were in the area Newcomb and Grand in Porterville serving an eviction notice, when 59-year-old David Morales opened fire on them, hitting Deputy Hoppert.

Deputy Hoppert was rushed to a local hospital, where we are heartbroken to confirm, he passed away.

Shortly before 6 p.m. tonight, Sheriff Boudreaux also announced that the suspect, David Morales, was run over and killed by Deputies driving the Kern County Sheriff’s Office SWAT vehicle.

Sheriff Boudreaux, and all of us at the Tulare County Sheriff’s Office, are shocked and deeply saddened by today’s tragic events. We ask that you keep our Deputy’s grieving family in your prayers.

Can you help the local K-9 teams?

We're looking for new locations around sutter county / yuba county where our teams can train. Working in different environments helps our dogs and handlers stay sharp and prepared for the wide range of situations they may encounter while on patrol.

We’re especially interested in locations where we can practice building searches, “suspect” search scenarios (no volunteers needed), and narcotics detection training. Our team brings all necessary training aids with them. All we need is your permission and keys.

Previous training locations have included warehouses, commercial buildings for sale, residences scheduled for demolition, and other vacant or temporarily available spaces.

If you own or manage a property that might work for training, we’d love to hear from you. Please send us a message on Facebook or email at [email protected] with your name, phone number, email address, and a little information about the location.

Shout out to Ada County Sheriff's Office for the idea!
