How they died
Less-than-lethal force
Garcia, sweaty and dazed, entered Interstate Motor Lodge and asked the night clerk for help. She called 911. Firefighters responded. Garcia refused treatment. Officers Tovar, Pruitt, Fletcher and Laska responded. All came to the conclusion that Garcia was intoxicated, and tried to arrest him. Garcia resisted. Officer Raska tasered Garcia three times during the struggle. Officers and firefighters put Garcia onto a gurney and transported him to East Houston Medical Center, where he died.
