At Rest

Deadly force
A 14-year-old boy went to his neighbor's house for help because his father, Villasenor-Lopez, was attacking his mother, Carmen Beltran Villasenor. Villasenor-Lopez threatened the neighbor. Police responded, and the boy told them his father was stabbing his mother. The officers entered and demanded that he drop his weapon; he refused, and they used a stun gun on him. When he turned on the officer who used the stun gun, he was fatally shot.
This record exists so that Ascencion Villasenor-Lopez, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
