Deadly force

Barros-Cepeda was the back-seat passenger of a car that officers were pursuing for running a red light. Officers fired five rounds into the car on the grounds that the driver struck another officer, endangering his life. The death of the unarmed young mother caused marches, protests, and eventual changes in Boston's policing guidelines.
