At Rest

Deadly force
Theodore Keiper was observed riding a motorcycle, speeding on the southbound side of old Pacific Coast Highway. Officers pursued Keiper onto Hobson Road and then Padre Juan Canyon Road, where he crashed down an embankment. California Highway Patrol Officers Michael Trenery and Frank Paramo feared for their lives, and shot Keiper. Keiper reportedly had reached for his waist. A replica toy gun was found nearby but Keiper was not in possession of it when the shooting occurred. Shooting was ruled justified.
This record exists so that Theodore Keiper, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
