How they died
Deadly force
Lopez, a Mexican citizen, reportedly stole a white Chevrolet Suburban in North Brownsville. He drove to Brownsville and Matamoros International Bridge, nearly ramming U.S. Customs agents as they tried to prevent the Suburban from entering Mexico. Customs agents and BPD officers fatally shot Lopez. Law enforcement linked Lopez to a Gulf Cartel-related car theft ring. BPD Detective Sam Lico and Officer Rolando Trujillo, and Agents Rudolph Hernandez, Gustavo DeLeon and Jaime Vidal were no-billed.
