At Rest

Deadly force
Deputies were called to Juan Rosa's house after his mother called 911, saying he was enraged and acting combative. Rosa had a history of mental illness. When deputies knocked on his door he opened it with a loaded revolver in his hand pointed at the deputies, and deputies shot and killed him. The sheriff remarked that it was suicide because Rosa didn't first shoot the officers.
This record exists so that Juan Rosa, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
