How they died
Less-than-lethal force
Sergeant Rodney Evans and Officers Micah Aldred and Bert Dillow repeatedly struck and subdued Torres, a resident alien from Jalisco suffering from hypertension, while responding to a 911 call about a man who was behaving strangely. Officer Dillow noticed that Torres was severely beaten and had his cuffs taken off. Officers called paramedics. Torres died at a hospital of "mechanical asphyxiation." The death resulted in racial controversy because of the severity of Torres's injuries.
