How they died
Deadly force
In an apparently deliberate attempt to draw out police, troubled Gouveia, with a record of 15 previous arrests, called 911 with claims that somebody was trying to kill him. He then engaged with three responding officers and shouted "Kill me, kill me" at a busy intersection. The unarmed, bipolar man was fatally shot twice for refusing to comply with directions.
