The Fremont Police Department is investigating a deadly shooting involving their officers Thursday night.
The incident happened just before 6:30 p.m. at a parking lot of the Hyatt Place Hotel near the 3100 block of West Warren Avenue.
The detectives involved in Thursday night's shooting are part of a newly formed firearms task force in the department.
Soraiya Bokaie, who was a witness told NBC Bay Area News that the shooting all happened right outside of her food truck.
"I came to the front of the truck and that's when I saw a lot of unmarked cars coming out of the parking spots,” she said. “And that's where I heard the shooting. And there were at least three shots I heard."
According to the Fremont police, the special firearms task force was trailing a man who they say had several felony warrants and may have been armed.
At some point, a pair of detectives approached the man and that’s when the situation became confrontational.

Fremont police said they even released a police dog in this situation.
"The sequence of events, I do know the K-9 was deployed before the shooting. At the time that the K-9 was deployed, that's when the suspect produced a firearm. And that's when the officers shot,” said Capt. Sean Washington with the Fremont Police Department.
