At Rest

Deadly force
Vasquez, reportedly drunk and high, kidnapped his one-month-old son. Alvin officers found Vasquez in an SUV outside his mother's trailer home. Vasquez shot at officers. Officers, unsure if they had a clean shot, did not fire back. During negotiations, Vasquez told officers that the baby was in the trailer and shot at them again. The officers shot at Vasquez, who died of a gunshot wound to the head.
This record exists so that Alfredo Vasquez, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
