At Rest

Deadly force
Escobar crashed his black Impala after leading Deputy Eric Goodney on a high-speed chase. He ran away from the scene of the crash, pulling up his sagging trousers as he did so. Deputy Goodney, seeing Escobar reached for his waistband, shot at Escobar six times as he ran, striking him three times in the back and killing him. Escobar was unarmed.
This record exists so that Luis Manuel Escobar, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
