Cristino “Gordo” Umana-Garcia

Deadly force

The Finney County Sheriff's Office received a call just before 11:30 a.m., reporting a man was behaving erratically, and his other had become stuck on an unmaintained road approximately 15 miles southwest of Garden City. A deputy arrived in the area a little before noon and found the man holding a knife to his own throat. He retreated to his other and locked the doors. Police tried to talk to him, but he emerged from his other and charged toward the officers, who shot and killed Cristino Umana-Garcia.
