At Rest

Deadly force
The Pueblo County Sheriff's Office received a report of a man on a bicycle who was firing shots at car windows. A responding Pueblo Police officer found Edward Valdez III at a local business. Police said Valdez fired at the officer with a BB gun multiple times. Valdez reportedly hit the officer twice. The officer then returned fire and killed Valdez. Mary Valdez, Edward's grandmother, said he was shot 8 times in the torso.
This record exists so that Edward “Bubba” Raymond Valdez III, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
More lives from the archive.
