How they died
Less-than-lethal force
Troopers and local police found Garcia walking alongside a highway; they took him in on old warrants for stealing candy and jumping a turnstile. Garcia kicked out the window of a patrol car. He was pepper-sprayed, placed in leg restraints, and broke another car window with his head. Taken off life support a week later, an autopsy showed extensive and severe internal injuries consistent with a fatal beating (six cups of blood in his abdomen), contrary to the police narrative. The family won a $700K settlement.
