How they died
Deadly force
Police officers responded to an assault complaint lodged by Dante Cespedes's wife, Judy Breton, who gave police the keys to her apartment where Cespedes was located. The officers encountered Cespedes in the apartment armed with knives. Police allege Cespedes lunged toward the officers with the knives, and three officers fired a total of 30 rounds at Cespedes, killing him. Cespedes's wife filed a wrongful death lawsuit.
