At Rest

Deadly force
Police went to a disturbance about 9 p.m. The responding officers had been told that a man was possibly intoxicated and trying to drive away, and others there were attempting to stop him. Officers were also told it had become physical, and Dustin James Acosta had armed himself at the condominium. Acosta was shot and killed when he came to the door with a handgun. A St. Augustine police officer and a St. Johns County deputy killed him.
This record exists so that Dustin James Acosta, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
More lives from the archive.
