At Rest

Deadly force
Around 3:45 p.m., an officer radioed that he witnessed a liquor violation. Police said the man pulled "what appeared to be a shotgun," but dropped it and ran when the officer fired at least one round at him. Another officer arrived and fired a less-lethal round at the man, who police said refused to obey commands to stop. Anthony Tovar allegedly pulled a knife and moved toward the officers, and the officer shot and killed him. Police withheld information as to what the object was that appeared to be a shotgun.
This record exists so that Anthony Tovar, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
