Eugene Horn

Deadly force

Calvin Mejia, 24, along with Eugene Horn and another unidentified person allegedly cut the chain on the gate of a Walmart, entered the fenced enclosure of the tire-storage cage outside the automotive-maintenance area and stole 20 automotive battery cores, police said. An officer saw a other exiting the Walmart parking lot with its lights off. The officer attempted to stop the other, and the other's occupants fled on foot to a nearby alley. Mejia was taken into custody in the alley. The driver of the other, Horn, was stopped by an officer in the driveway of a nearby home. Horn pointed a gun at the officer, and the officer shot and killed him. Mejia was charged with murder in Horn's death.
