At Rest

Deadly force
Police arrived at a boarding house for migrant farm workers to find Torrez standing over his badly beaten brother with a knife. Torrez refused commands to drop the knife and police opened fire, killing Torrez. Some witnesses alleged Torrez was not armed and his family sued Fresno. The lawsuit was dismissed.
This record exists so that Miguel Moreno Torrez, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
