How they died

Deadly force

Rondon was a sovereign citizen or "freeman" well known to local police. After he violated his parole, three officers came to his house to serve a warrant. He greeted them with a beer in his hand and a rifle. He refused to put the weapon down and instead aimed it at one of the officers. The other two officers shot and killed Rondon. Rondon's rifle misfired, according to police.
