How they died
Deadly force
SJPD's Metro special-enforcement unit was looking for Elias Mejia in connection with the killing a week earlier of 44-year-old Daniel Canales in East San Jose. The team spotted Mejia driving a Honda Civic they determined was stolen. Officers blocked in Mejia's car and he tried to ram his way out. A San Jose officer had gotten out of his unmarked police car when the Honda drove in his general direction. An officer fired a single shot at Mejia, who was killed.
