Omar Enrique Garcia

How they died

Deadly force

Deputies were called to a home shortly after 8:30 a.m. for a family disturbance and a restraining order violation, police said. A man, who was alleged to have violated the restraining order, was holding a 3-feet-long sword outside the home and ignored deputies' commands to drop the weapon. The man fled, and the chase ended outside the high school around 9:10 a.m. The man, still holding the sword, advanced toward a deputy and allegedly ignored orders to drop the weapon. One deputy shot and killed him.
