Mickey Larragoitiy

How they died

Deadly force

Larragoitiy was well known in his retirement community as the local "neighborhood watch." He became suicidal after being diagnosed with terminal cancer. He called a neighbor and told her he was sitting in his garage with a gun to his head. She called 911, and three deputies arrived at the garage. Larragoitiy pointed a weapon at them, and they opened fire, killing him. The weapon turned out to be a BB gun.
