How they died
Deadly force
Chowchilla Police responded to a disturbance call around 11 p.m. When authorities arrived, they found Alejandro Alvarado had started a fire in the street's gutter. Alvarado also was armed with two knives and a cylindrical item, which he claimed was a bomb. Police and the Chowchilla Fire Department tried to subdue him by spraying him with a fire engine hose and by tasering him. Alvarado then allegedly charged at the officers, which resulted in one CHP officer and a Chowchilla Police officer to shoot and kill him.
