At Rest

Deadly force
Deputy Harry Thielepape, working as a security guard but wearing his badge and ballistic vest, arrested Reyna, disarmed him and put him in the backseat of his unmarked other. For some reason, Deputy Thielepape later opened the backdoor to check on Reyna. Reyna took the deputy's holstered handgun and shot him. Deputy Thielepape took cover, drew a backup handgun and fatally shot Reyna. In spite of numerous surgeries, Deputy Thielepapa died as well.
This record exists so that Jesus Gilbert Reyna, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
