At Rest

Deadly force
Six hours of attempted negotiation, starting in the early evening and stretching to 3 a.m., proved unsuccessful when Diaz Duarte stormed out of his mother's house and started a firefight with local and county officers. He'd threatened his mother with a handgun; she'd escaped the house and called 911. Diaz Duarte wounded one officer in the ankle before being fatally shot.
This record exists so that Anthony Dias Duarte, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
