How they died
Deadly force
Officers Jeffrey Rodriguez and Nathan Wagner were patrolling the area looking for car burglars, and they began to follow Carter and the teen because the officers believed the pair were acting suspiciously. Authorities said that as the officers approached a red Oldsmobile Alero sedan, the driver started the engine and began fleeing in the car, hitting one of the officers with the car. The second officer began firing his .40 caliber pistol at the other until they were out of range. The driver was shot in the arm and fled the scene, abandoning the other a few blocks away. Carter was found dead in the passenger's seat.
