Deadly force
Two North Las Vegas police officers stopped at a residence where a felony battery suspect was known to live. Gonzalo Rico-Jimenez, who was not the suspect, was standing in front of the residence and got into a blue pickup. Officers Ramin Nassiri and Christopher Colwell stood in front of the pickup, commanding Rico-Jimenez to stop. Rico-Jimenez continued driving at a slow speed with the officers in front of him, who then shot and killed Rico-Jimenez. Police alleged vehicular assault. While officers were cleared of wrongdoing, North Las Vegas paid $1 million wrongful death settlement to Rico-Jimenez's family.
This record exists so that Gonzalo Rico-Jimenez, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
