Deadly force

Daniel Lee Lucha Jr. was the suspect in two fast-food restaurant robberies. He was involved in a other pursuit with law enforcement leading up to his death. Throughout the 30-minute pursuit, he stopped several times until he was shot inside his van. Fourteen officers shot and killed him when he pointed his weapon at them during a standoff. Lucha, Jr. was armed with a lug wrench which he allegedly had under a blanket and held in a position which made it appear to be a firearm.
