Emmanuel Alquisiras

How they died

Deadly force

A deputy responding to a domestic disturbance call encountered Emmanuel Alquisiras and another man sitting on a stairway that led to an apartment. Alquisiras's wife appeared and told the deputy he was at the right house. Alquisiras then grabbed his wife and began shaking her, the deputy tasered him, which worked at first. But Alquisiras recovered before the deputy could handcuff him, so the deputy tasered him again and then tried to drive stun Alquisiras, to no effect. Alquisiras grabbed the deputy's Taser during the struggle and pointed it at the deputy, who drew his service weapon and shot Alquisiras multiple times, killing him.
