At Rest

Deadly force
Patrol Officer Ryan Shinn found Hector Rodriguez near his sister's house after a domestic dispute in which Rodriguez' brother-in-law was stabbed. Shinn said that during a confrontation, Rodriguez hit him in the face with a vase, and Shinn shot him in the shoulder. Rodriguez died on Aug. 26, 2015, while serving a 12-year prison sentence related to these incidents. The medical examiner ruled his death a homicide, from "the gunshot wound he sustained in 2005 in combination with other medical conditions."
This record exists so that Hector Rodriguez, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
