Michael Estrada

How they died

Deadly force

Two patrol units were dispatched to 1200 block Paseo San Luis where Estrada was in the front yard of the residence brandishing a machete. Estrada began making aggressive statements and started walking toward one of the officers. Officer Michael Rathmann fired his department-issue weapon at Estrada, who sustained multiple gunshot wounds. Emergency Medical Personnel were contacted and quickly responded to provide life-saving measures. Estrada was transported to the Emergency Department at the Sierra Vista Regional Health Center where he was pronounced dead shortly thereafter.
