How they died
Deadly force
During a curfew caused by the George Floyd protests, three detectives in an unmarked pickup truck arrived at Walgreens, where a dozen looters were in the parking lot. An officer in the back seat said he saw Sean Monterrosa take a shooting stance and point a gun at the officers. The officer shot five time through the windshield of the pickup truck killing Monterrosa. Monterrosa didn't have a gun, he had a 15-inch hammer tucked into the pocket of his sweatshirt. Police body cams failed to capture Monterrosa's actions on video. Monterrosa family has filed federal civil rights lawsuit, lawyer claims Monterrosa was attempting to surrender when he was shot.
