How they died
Deadly force
Sanchez stole a 1999 Ford pickup, crashed it, then left the scene of the crash on foot. Troopers David Edwards and Mike Vennell told Sanchez to surrender and show his hands. According to authorities, Sanchez turned to face them with his right hand still behind his right hip. Trooper Vennell shot Sanchez once, fatally, in the head. Sanchez was unarmed. Though Trooper Vennell was repeatedly no-billed in relation to this shooting, he left law enforcement.
