How they died
Deadly force
Police went to the home after receiving a phone call from a man who said his life was being threatened. Officers found Matus and Peter Zabala locked inside a bathroom and could not get Matus to open the door. Hearing muffled sounds inside, they broke into the bathroom and found Matus with a knife against Zabala's throat. One of the officers grabbed Matus and shot and killed him.
