Eliuth Penaloza Nava

Deadly force

Officers responded to a family member's report that Eliuth Penaloza Nava was possibly on drugs and hallucinating. Nava was reportedly seated in his other while armed with a knife and gun. Officers arrived at about 9:30 a.m. and attempted to contact Nava, but he fled in his other. The officers pursued, and Nava pulled a handgun and started firing at them while driving. One officer shot multiple rounds through the front windshield of the police cruiser at the fleeing suspect's other as he circled back to his home. As officers approached Nava's stopped other on foot, they fired multiple rounds into it, killing Nava. A total of 76 rounds were fired by the two officers, one of whom was fired and the other disciplined. Nava's weapon turned out to be a replica handgun. Anaheim paid Nava's family a $2.9 million settlement.
