At Rest

Deadly force
Officers from the Riverside Police Department Problem Oriented Policing (POP) Team were conducting a pedestrian check on two individuals at Arlington Park. While speaking with these individuals, it was determined that Hayes would be handcuffed because he had a felony warrant for his arrest for receiving stolen property. As one of the officers attempted to make contact with Hayes, he pulled a handgun from the waistband of his pants. The officer shot and killed him.
