How they died
Deadly force
Viera had a history of mental health issues, a recent release from county jail, and a wife of 17 years. He locked her and their children out of their house during a domestic dispute. She sought help from a mental health center, who referred her to police; when the police responded to the house, Viera greeted them with a knife in his hand and refused to drop it. Officers shot him to death.
