Molina fatally shot Eugenio de los Santos. Officers David Boyd and D. Miranda responded. Molina approached the officers, gun in hand, from a distance of about 40 feet. When Molina closed about half that distance, yelling, "Orale, vamonos" and "Tirame," the officers fatally shot him. Molina's outburst may have been related to a relationship with a nurse. Born in Mexico, Molina was incarcerated in Tamaulipas for killing a police officer. Family characterized him as a child molester.
