Alfredo Diaz

How they died

Less-than-lethal force

After smoking a joint that may have been laced with a hallucinogen, Diaz stripped off his clothes and began running through the streets screaming. His brother and police tracked him down and sought to restrain him for his own safety. Pepper spray had no effect. He pulled the darts off from the first Taser attempt but began having a medical reaction to the second tasering, dying shortly afterward.

Why we remember them

This record exists so that Alfredo Diaz, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
