On July 29, 2025, around 11:20 pm, Tracy Police Department officers responded to a report of a solo vehicle crash in the 2700 block of Holly Dr. Upon arrival, officers contacted an adult male (not believed to be a Tracy resident) involved in the crash. After conducting a DUI investigation, the male was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence.

The male showed no signs of injury at the time of arrest and refused medical attention offered at the scene. Shortly after being taken into custody, and while still at the scene, the male collapsed and became unresponsive. Officers immediately rendered medical aid and requested emergency medical services. Paramedics arrived and transported the individual to a local hospital, where he was sadly pronounced deceased.

No force was used by officers during the incident. The male appeared to have suffered a medical emergency following his arrest.

In accordance with department policy, the Tracy Police Department’s General Investigations Unit is conducting a full investigation into the incident, alongside the San Joaquin County Medical Examiner’s Office. The identity of the deceased will be released by the Medical Examiner pending notification of next of kin.

The Tracy Police Department is committed to transparency and accountability. Further information will be released as it becomes available and as the investigation allows.
