How they died
Deadly force
Royce Leon Sedotal Jr. had escaped custody after officers responded to a disturbance call involving an assault at his home. League City police officers searched for Sedotal unsuccessfully until making contact with a female occupant at his house the following day. The officers found Sedotal hiding in a closet. Sedotal had escaped custody while still handcuffed but was no longer handcuffed when killed at his home. Sedotal was ordered to come out of the closet, but he allegedly threatened the officers with a folding utility knife. Officer Shane Yount shot and killed Sedotal.
