How they died
Deadly force
Gonzalez was shot and killed when he approached an off-duty officer at a restaurant trying to sell him jewelry. Sheriff's Dept. news release stated that Officer Jose Cortez Amaya called 911 before he shot Gonzalez, but that was contradicted by the recording of the 911 call in which he states that he has already shot him. Amaya's actions were ruled improper and he was suspended for two days.
