How they died
Deadly force
Police officers pulled over Adrian Parra, 19, for a traffic offense. Parra's car smelled like marijuana, and the officers searched the car and found marijuana and in the trunk, a handgun in a backpack. As an officer attempted to handcuff Parra, he took off running along the highway. Both officers tried to tase Parra to no effect. One officer fell, and Parra crossed the highway with the other officer right behind him. Para circled back to his car and the police cruiser. As he arrived between the car and the cruiser, the police officer opened fire, shooting and killing Parra. The officer claimed Parra was going for his gun, which was still in the trunk. Video evidence is inconclusive.
