How they died

Vehic/Purs

Blameless, unarmed Baez drove a van resembling one reported stolen. Three local cruisers followed him at slow speeds. He pulled over and stepped out, only to be hit by two police cars and ending, according to court testimony, "wrapped around the rear axle." A wrongful death suit determined that medical attention was delayed; police admitted to moving the body and tampering with evidence. The suit failed nonetheless.
