How they died
Deadly force
An officer responded to a complaint that an armed man was standing in a street. Quezada, mentally disabled, was confronted by the officer, unaware of his disabilities, as he walked around with a pellet gun that resembled an AR-15. When Quezada ignored three orders to drop the weapon and turned to face the officer, the officer killed him with a shotgun.
