At Rest

Deadly force
Police reported Michael "The Duke" De Luca's pickup hit a palm tree on the sand near a parking lot. De Luca was allegedly uncooperative and told them he had a handgun. Officers shot and killed Deluca after using a Taser stun gun on him. DeLuca may have been suicidal and allegedly reached for his waistband as if drawing a handgun. It turned out De Luca was unarmed.
This record exists so that Michael “The Duke” DeLuca, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
