How they died
Deadly force
Just after midnight, police were dispatched to a home on a call of a welfare check. A female caller indicated that a man was armed with a handgun, and she feared that he would harm her then himself. When officers arrived, they encountered an armed man outside the home who was pacing around a other. Officers attempted to negotiate with Robert Acosta-Reyes, but he allegedly pointed the handgun at himself multiple times before pointing it at officers, who shot and killed him.
