How they died
Deadly force
The incident occurred when an Orange County Sheriff's Department officer found Aliva distressed and acting strangely pulled over on Las Pulgas Road. When the Deputy approached Aliva began aggressively pointing and yelling at the deputy. An hour-long standoff ensued as the man said that he was armed. When Aliva emerged from his car he had a black shirt wrapped around his hand, extending it as if it was a weapon. A deputy fired a bean bag round at Aliva, but it did not subdue him, then three OCSD officers and two border patrol agents fired their guns killing Aliva.
