At Rest

Deadly force
Police shot and killed Angel Perez Jr. after he allegedly shot at officers who had surrounded him after a robbery at a McDonald's. Witnesses said Perez entered the restaurant, where he'd been employed, put a gun to the head of a cashier, got money from the safe, and then left on foot. Officers found Perez in a parking lot a few blocks from the restaurant at 12:25 a.m. Lake County State's Attorney Michael Waller called the shooting "legally justified."
This record exists so that Angel Perez Jr., and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
