How they died
Deadly force
Officers of the Denver Police Department entered the second floor of an apartment building with a ladder during a search for Frank Lobato's nephew in a domestic-violence complaint. Officers were advised that other residents were at home upstairs. When Lobato, an unarmed invalid lying naked in his bed, reacted to Officer Ranjan Ford Jr.'s unexpected appearance, Ford shot Lobato once in the chest. Ford claimed to have mistaken a soda can for a weapon. The city of Denver settled with Lobato's family for $900,000 in December 2007. Ford was suspended for 90 days.
