Less-than-lethal force
Aguirre and his girlfriend crashed a stolen other into a fence. Aguirre tried to enter traffic on foot. In dash cam video, three officers bend Aguirre over a median, handcuff him, then flip him over the median. He falls face up. Officers and yank his body upright by his cuffed wrists and frisk him. Medical Examiner Dr. Elizabeth Peacock listed the death as a homicide, but characterized the cause of death as "intoxicated delirium" caused by alcohol and cocaine. Officers Cristina Gonzales, Roberto Mendez, Jennifer Morgan, Bettina Arredondo, Ronald Haley, Benito Juarez, Robert Encina and Douglas Green were named in a lawsuit.
This record exists so that Jesse Aguirre, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
