46 year-old Jeffrey Kotrys, a resident of Garden Grove, was pronounced dead at 9:44pm at UCI Medical Center following an officer involved shooting, Friday, March 27th. At 8:56pm, the Garden Grove Police Department received a call regarding a violent male subject inside the residence on the 12000 block of Janet St in Garden Grove.
