Juan Lozano

How they died

Deadly force

Officers tried to pull Lozano's other over. Instead, Lozano drove away. Officers pursued him. He tried to take a turn too fast, and rolled into a ditch. He exited his other with a handheld radio. Officer Ronald L. Plotner fatally shot him. Officers later discovered that Lozano's family had recently tried and failed to send Lozano to a psychiatric center about four days earlier for what his sister, Maria, described as depression.
