How they died
Deadly force
Juan Louis Acuna was reportedly a known gang member, parolee and a suspect in a violent crime spree. Members of the gang task force spotted Acuna running down the street while brandishing a handgun. The officers followed Acuna into a parking lot where he displayed another handgun. Acuna fired at the officers, who rammed him with their cruiser in a failed attempt to disarm him. Acuna got back up and raised his guns and eight officers shot and killed him.
