Alfredo Hector Aragon

How they died

Deadly force

Aragon was fatally shot in front of his house at 3 a.m. by an undercover officer. Aragon's ex-girlfriend had appealed to the officer for help; she'd been wounded in a rolling firefight as she rode in the officer's car chasing Aragon. It later emerged that the officer was the woman's lover, he was drinking on duty that night, and he'd lied about all this under oath. The officer was suspended with no criminal charges. Aragon's family sued.
