On 01/19/2022 at about 9:56 AM, UPD Officers were dispatched to an apartment complex in the 700 block of Waugh Lane, for a report of a physical fight in progress among multiple male subjects. On arrival, Officers contacted an adult male with moderate injuries in the parking area of the complex.

The victim advised he had been involved in an altercation with another adult male, identified as Jose Estrada Wirt. The victim stated that during a verbal exchange with Estrada Wirt moments earlier, Estrada Wirt displayed a knife toward him in a threatening manner. Estrada Wirt then entered an SUV in the parking lot as the victim was talking with another male subject. Estrada Wirt then drove at the victim and rammed him with the front of the vehicle. Estrada Wirt then fled the location in the vehicle. Estrada Wirt was not located at that time.

Officers had Medical personnel respond and assess the victim’s injuries. The victim was ultimately transported to the Hospital. Officers obtained witness statements and surveillance video which corroborated the victim’s account of events. A locate and arrest BOLO (Be on the lookout) was issued for Estrada Wirt for assault with a deadly weapon and brandishing of a weapon.
