How they died
Deadly force
After a brief pursuit of the suspect's minivan, police intentionally caused Rivera's other to crash, then claimed to fear for their lives when the car began backing up toward them. The 16-year-old died in a hail of 48 bullets, 19 of which struck his body. Accounts of witnesses and family members differ sharply from police statements.
