The sheriff’s department released edited footage of the shootout Friday, March 29. Video taken from a police helicopter above the scene of the shootout, which occurred on I-15 near Hesperia and Victorville, shows Savannah, who police say was wearing tactical gear, getting out of her father’s crashed car approaching police when she was shot.
Also released was audio from a deputy’s recording device, which does not have an accompanying video. The deputy is heard telling Savannah to walk toward him, as gunfire is heard in the background.
“Passenger, get out,” the deputy says multiple times. “Come here, come to me.”
“Hey! Stop! Stop shooting her,” the deputy yells, as gunfire continues to sound. “He’s in the car, stop!”

Anthony, who was also killed in the shootout, was pronounced dead at the scene, police previously said.
A day before the shootout, the Fontana Police Department said Anthony fatally shot his wife and was considered armed and dangerous. Police also said his 15-year-old daughter was with him. As a result, an Amber Alert went out for Savannah, which was sent to the California Highway Patrol.
