How they died
Deadly force
Off-duty deputy constable Francisco Ruiz was working security for his apartment complex and encountered Goodridge, unarmed and allegedly trespassing the property on which he had lived for nine years until recently evicted. Ruiz says he attempted to arrest Goodridge. Witness David Hall says that Goodridge pushed Ruiz away. The deputy says he chased him and there was a scuffle. He then shot Goodridge twice in the stomach. Ruiz suffered either scratches on his back, a back injury or a concussion. The District Attorney's Civil Rights Division is currently investigating.
