At Rest

Deadly force
Lara threatened suicide. Corporals Joe Galindo, Shannon Davis and Ben Sorenson responded. Lara sat in the backyard of a house with a .22-caliber handgun. He asked corporals to get him in contact with his ex-girlfriend. They told them they would, and told him to put the gun down. Lara did not. Corporals fatally shot him. The Texas Ranger Division investigated. Corporal Smith was also present when Larry Neil White killed three officers in 2007.
This record exists so that Raul Natividad Lara, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
