How they died
Deadly force
Torres reportedly committed a robbery and stole a pickup truck. Officers saw the truck flee the scene and pursued it east on Lohman, but heavy traffic in the area forced police to stop the chase. Later, Torres held a large knife and a beer bottle when he attempted to open another other. Torres was shot when he lunged toward an officer with the knife.
