How they died
Deadly force
Officers were patrolling about 3 p.m. when they encountered Orlando Abeyta crossing Central, waving a handgun in the air. Police ordered Abeyta to drop the weapon, instead he pointed it at them, and two officers shot and killed him. The weapons turned out to be a BB pistol replica handgun. This was Officer Bryce Willsey's third killing. Willsey would kill one more by June 2021.
