At Rest

Suicide
A sheriff's deputy went to Mullins Drive in Las Vegas, N.M., around 11:30 a.m. to arrest Daniel Esparza. Esparza allegedly struck the deputy and took his Taser before barricading himself in the home. Police said he fired several rounds at deputies. A deputy shot but missed Esparza. At about 2:30 p.m., police heard a gunshot inside the home and found Esparza dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
This record exists so that Daniel Esparza, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
