How they died
Deadly force
NYPD officers reported seeing Lopez shoot and kill another man, perhaps over a drug deal, and leave in a van. They chased Lopez, pulled him over, saw him turn toward them, and shot him to death. Together with the shooting of Floyd Quinones just a few days previously the event caused local protests and unrest.
