At Rest

Deadly force
Bastrop County Deputy Mark Garcia and Investigator Stephen Broderick responded to a 911 call about a family disturbance. They found the suspect outside of his home, armed and repeatedly told Cantu to drop the weapon. The suspect allegedly refused, and pointed the weapon at the deputies who shot and killed him at the scene.
This record exists so that Jose Manuel Cantu, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
More lives from the archive.
