How they died
Deadly force
Police first stopped the other Luis Cruz was in shortly after midnight. Cruz, who was a passenger, was wanted for questioning in a June 21 shooting and a domestic battery, police said. As the car stopped, passenger Cruz got out and fled on foot, and officers began chasing him. Police allege Cruz racked the slide on a gun and turned toward the officers as he was running. One officer shot seven times, striking Cruz three times and killing him. The officer was cleared of any criminal wrongdoing. Cruz's sister, who contends Cruz was unarmed, has filed a wrongful death lawsuit in the case.
