At Rest

Deadly force
Acosta had mental health issues, a drug problem, a criminal record, and a protective order to stay away from his wife. She happened to be a civilian employee of the Fresno PD. While trying to apprehend him police used pepper spray and a Taser, neither of which worked. When he threatened officers with a four-foot metal post, he was shot to death.
This record exists so that Gustavo Segura Acosta, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
