How they died
Deadly force
Figueroa was fighting with another man on the fifth floor of an apartment building when NYPD arrived. Told repeatedly to put down the wooden bat he was holding, he did not. The police version of events had him "lunging" at officers; family and other witnesses disputed that account. He was fatally shot in the chest.
