How they died
Deadly force
A personal beef and fist fight between Soto and an Angel Alvarez blossomed into an uncontrolled street melee involving five police officers and more than 50 shots fired. Alvarez survived the 21 police bullets that hit him; three bystanders hit by police bullets, one officer shot by another. Only the medical examiner proved that Soto had been killed by five police bullets.
