How they died
Deadly force
Officers responding to a call of possible breaking and entering encountered a reportedly intoxicated Gerardo Pinedo Jr., who had broken into his empty childhood home. Pinedo came outside when directed by police, running in circles in the backyard and curling up in a ball. Pinedo allegedly threw and object, striking one officer, and then charged the officers. He touched one officer on the arm, who shot and fatally wounded Pinedo. The other officer allegedly tasered Pinedo while he was lying handcuffed face down on the ground, according to a lawsuit filed by Pinedo's father.
