How they died
Deadly force
An officer fatally shot Carlos Diaz, who'd allegedly cut his ex-girlfriend with a knife and was threatening to kill her. At around 3 p.m., the officer responded to a domestic dispute, but Diaz was gone when he arrived. The officer took a report and went to a nearby parking area to do paperwork, police said. About half an hour later, Diaz returned and reportedly dragged his ex-girlfriend outside. She fled to Columbia Street, where police said Diaz caught up to her and cut her face. According to police, the officer confronted Diaz and told him to drop the knife before shooting him.
