How they died
Deadly force
Escobedo made an early-morning 911 call saying he'd taken cocaine and was suicidal. The police response escalated quickly into a "Crisis Response Team" and SWAT raid on Escobedo's 7th floor apartment complete with tear gas. Escobedo failed to put down his gun, and he was shot to death.
