At Rest

Deadly force
Contreras reportedly carjacked an SUV and drove it across three counties, pursued by the CHP. He crashed in San Francisco after a chase by SFPD. While police were waiting for a less-lethal beanbag shotgun, Contreras fired a handgun at a man who attempted to help him out of the car, and then reportedly turned his gun at the officers. They then fired 32 rounds at him, killing him.
This record exists so that Giovany Contreras-Sandoval, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
