Jose Vieira

How they died

Deadly force

Vieira called 911 from his other at 5 a.m., suicidal, speaking to the dispatcher for about half-an-hour and claiming to have a handgun. Officers located him and tried to pull him over. He eventually pulled to in a residential area and exited his Pathfinder but did not comply with police commands. They perceived that he was reaching for a weapon, they fatally shot him multiple times, and found no gun.
