How they died
Deadly force
Castaneda's father had called police because he thought his son was under the influence of drugs and had armed himself with a machete, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. When deputies arrived Castaneda was in the backyard of a home with a baseball bat and the knife. Castaneda approached the deputies with the weapons, and they shot him, officials said.
