How they died
Deadly force
Daniel Mendoza was a suspect in a shooting. He was shot after he had begun to lower his hands while surrendering to Fresno Police. He was shot by Marcus Tafoya, a police officer who was fired in 2007 shortly before being indicted by the Fresno County DA for assaulting a returning Iraq war veteran at a party two years earlier. Tafoya has been involved in at least four shooting events.
