How they died
Deadly force
Police received a call from the Roberto Callejas family at 10:45 a.m. to check on the well-being of Callejas, police said. The family told police Callejas knew there was a warrant for his arrest and was waiting for police with explosives. Callejas had a warrant for his arrest for a failure to appear in an armed trespassing case. Police said when they arrived, Callejas had a knife to his throat and refused to drop it. Police tasered him. Callejas fell down, got back up with what officers thought was a laser connected to a firearm, and officers shot him. Callejas got back up and threatened officers with a knife, and Callejas was shot a second time, killing him.
