How they died

Deadly force

Miami-Dade police and a deputy U.S. marshal were attempt to serve an arrest warrant on Anthony Levy, an aspiring rapper and father, but wound up killing him. One warrant was for attempted murder and another warrant was for an incident at his children's school where Levy brandished a firearm. Police searched a house for Levy and believed that he was hiding in the attic. The Special Response Team was called in. They used tear gas but it did not force Levy out of the attic. Shortly after 6 p.m., Officers Jose Garcia Robert Melley and Marcos Milian climbed into the attic and found Levy. He reportedly refused to surrender and was shot while raising a metallic object toward an officer.
