How they died

Deadly force

According to FBI special agent Paris Capalupo, confidential informant Cesar Sanchez-Gonzalez agreed to use his shop for an undercover cocaine transaction as part of "Operation Sheepdog." Capalupo, special agent Gregory Beninato and Greater Omaha Safe Streets Task Force members were staked out about a block away, listening in. Capalupo said a second informant was inside Sanchez Auto Repair "to calm things and make it look like we had more people in there, in case there was a drug rip." At about 12:50 a.m., one of four Kansas City men reportedly drew a gun and walked into the shop. Capalupo said he radioed for backup and drove toward the shop. Several shots were fired inside. Sanchez-Gonzalez was killed.
