Marino Sarbelio Ramos

Deadly force

Undocumented Guatemalan immigrant Ramos was the passenger in a Ford minivan. The driver was arrested without incident, but the deputy and Ramos got into a confrontation that left the deputy with a slashed hand and Ramos dead from multiple gunshot wounds. Police were tight-lipped about details until announcing manslaughter charges against the deputy five weeks later. The deputy torched his own house and car, then fatally shot himself.
