DeAngelo Cazares Rivera

Deadly force

Earlier the night Rivera was shot, he'd fired two shots through the windshield of his girlfriend's parents' car as she was driving and they argued about their relationship, police said at the time. After they returned to her apartment, someone called 911. Police went to the apartment to check on the woman. He found Rivera agitated and tried to calm him, police said. Stover struggled with Rivera when he advanced toward the officer, and Rivera fell and pulled a gun from his waistband, police said. Stover, sensing his own life was in danger, killed Rivera in front of the woman.
