At Rest

Deadly force
Deputies were flagged by a bystander who reported a "man with gun" in the vicinity. Deputies reportedly saw Carlos Oliva on the street, and when they confronted him he struggled with them and began to pull out a gun. Witnesses allege police beat Oliva on the ground before shooting and killing him. He was shot in the back. On 09/11/14 the family announced they will file a $10m wrongful death lawsuit against the LASD. They are requesting that Forlano, who has shot 7 people, be fired and brought to trial.
This record exists so that Carlos Ernesto Oliva Sola, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
