Armando Paz Garcia

Deadly force

Officer John Chandler tried to conduct a traffic stop on a white Ford Mustang for speeding. The driver, Garcia, did not stop until he pulled into a driveway a minute later. Garcia stepped out of the other, then tried to climb a fence behind a row of houses. Officer Chandler drew a pistol, followed Garcia and told him to get down. Garcia came down from the fence, then knocked Officer Chandler to the ground. Officer Chandler, on the ground, shot at Garcia twice, striking him once in the face and killing him.
