How they died
Deadly force
Off-duty and in plain clothes, NYPD Officer Hernandez got involved in a fight in a White Castle at 5 a.m. Two other uniformed officers arrived to find Hernandez pointing his weapon at a prone figure below him. Ordered to drop his weapon, Hernandez did not yield or identify himself. He was hit three times and died days later. The shooting was deemed justified.
