How they died
Deadly force
The county sent a five-man undercover team shortly before 2 a.m. to deliver a warrant to Fontanez at his parents' house. The teen resisted with a baseball ball, starting an ugly melee where Fontanez was beaten, tasered multiple times, and fatally shot in the chest. The parents filed suit saying the police were indistinguishable from home invaders.
