How they died

Deadly force

Glendale police issued a bulletin about a carjacking suspect who was behind the wheel of a red 2002 Honda Civic. A deputy spotted the other and tried to do a traffic stop, but the driver fled. The deputy gave chase and the pursuit eventually ended several miles later at a Lafarge North America sand-and-gravel operation along the Agua Fria River. There, the Honda rolled to a stop and Diaz displayed a weapon. The deputy shot and killed Diaz.
