Josue Narciso Fuentes

How they died

Deadly force

Fuentes was shot and killed by Los Angeles Police Department West Valley Division officers after they responded to a radio call of a man cutting himself with a knife. Police saw a man holding a knife to his own neck. They said he ignored officers' commands to stop cutting himself and to drop the knife. At one point, the man "became aggressive" toward the officers, police have said, so they shot and killed him.
