At Rest

Deadly force
Officers reported that when they chased Mercado in his car, and when he stopped, he left the car and came toward officers, shooting at them with a handgun. Four officers fired back and killed Mercado. He was suspected of killing his sister's boyfriend--and an order of protection is shedding some light on what led to that domestic fight.
This record exists so that Genaro Mercado, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
