When the officer arrived, he saw Antonio Corona-Mendoza standing outside the apartment building. The officer armed with a shotgun, told investigators he called to him several times but received no response. Corona-Mendoza then turned toward the apartment and yelled, "Go ahead and call the police." He walked behind a other, out of view from the officer, and a gunshot was heard. Corona-Mendoza waited for a moment before walking into the street, and that's when the officer fired twice.
