How they died
Deadly force
According to police reports, soon after being pulled over near the intersection of South Pleasant Valley Road and Quicksilver Boulevard, a scuffle between Rocha and Officer Julie Schroeder took place. Rocha was shot in the back at point blank range. Schroeder's testimony was that she used lethal force to protect Officer Sgt. Don Doyle and herself from a taser, which she argued Rocha could have used. Witnesses said that he was on the ground face down, unarmed, with Officer Schroeder's knee in his back when he was shot.
