The Tulare Police Department extends our deepest condolences to California Highway Patrol Officer Brian Liles wife, children, family, friends, and our brothers and sisters at the CHP Visalia Area.

A loss like this is felt far beyond one agency. Today, we stand beside our CHP family as they grieve one of their own and honor a life dedicated to serving others.

Rest easy, Officer Liles. Your dedication, service, and sacrifice will never be forgotten.

On September 27, 2026, at approximately 12:50 a.m., Tulare Police Department officers responded to a report of a shooting at the Skate Park located at 85 W. Tulare Avenue. Upon arrival, officers located a 17-year-old Tulare resident suffering from a gunshot wound. Emergency Medical Services (EMS) personnel immediately began life-saving measures before transporting the juvenile to a local hospital, where he later succumbed to his injuries.

During the investigation, officers learned that a second 17-year-old male juvenile had also been shot but was transported by private vehicle to a local hospital prior to the arrival of law enforcement personnel. The victim was later transferred to a regional trauma center, where he remains hospitalized and continues to receive medical treatment.

The investigation remains active and ongoing. Anyone with information related to this incident is urged to contact Detective Banuelos at (559) 685-4577 or Detective Moreno at (559) 685-4578.

Today, members of the Tulare Police Department joined our brothers and sisters from the Tulare City Fire Department, along with community members, to commemorate the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001.

Twenty-five years ago today, our nation was forever changed. Nearly 3,000 innocent lives were lost, including civilians, firefighters, police officers, paramedics, and other first responders who ran toward danger to help others. Their courage, sacrifice, and selflessness continue to inspire generations.

Today, we stand together as a community to Remember. Honor. Serve.
