At Rest

Deadly force
Narcotics Sgt. Mark Langan, and officers Pam Heidzig and Gary Kula shot Jose M. Chavez when he allegedly turned and fired at them while running after a chase that started with an undercover drug buy. According to his cousin, Chavez didn't want to go back to jail after spending six months there on drug charges two years earlier. Chavez died in the street a block from his home.
This record exists so that Jose M. Chavez, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
