At Rest

Deadly force
Officers were dispatched at 8:45 a.m. after receiving a report that Jose Marcos Ramirez had stabbed his mother multiple times and was still armed with a knife. Officers encountered Ramirez running in the street. They reportedly tried to take Ramirez into custody with less lethal foam bullets, but they had no effect. Ramirez refused to drop the knife and advanced toward the officers begging them to shoot him. Multiple officers shot and killed Ramirez.
This record exists so that Jose Marcos Ramirez, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
More lives from the archive.
