How they died
Deadly force
Although he was uninvolved, county officers conducting a burglary investigation would not let Army veteran Baker past their established perimeter so he could return home. Witnesses describe one male officer, then two more female officers, beating him bloody for resisting instructions, after which Baker fought back with a police baton. Rada's fatal shooting was one of a string of similar incidents with mentally ill victims for which the Miami-Dade Police were criticized. The shooter was named Officer of the Year.
