Ernesto Gonzalez

Deadly force

Ernesto Gonzalez, allegedly suicidal, left his residence in a red Honda, driving at a reckless speed. Lieutenant Brent Frazier and Warden Jacob Crumpton received a dispatch saying that the Honda was approaching them. They pulled Gonzalez over and told him to surrender the shotgun standing between his legs. He refused, then exited the other and approached the officers. Lieutenant Frazier, who said that Gonzalez appeared to be racking a load into the shotgun, fatally shot Gonzalez.
