At Rest

Deadly force
Deputy Jose "Tony" Curet was shot in the arm as he tried to serve warrants at the home of 19-year-old Hector Manuel Bello Jr. Curet entered the rowhouse and told Bello, who was coming down the stairs, that he wanted to talk with him. Bello went upstairs, returned with two handguns and opened fire on Curet. A bullet hit the deputy in the arm, and he went down. Curet retreated and pushed Bello's mother out of the way. When Bello kept firing, Curet shot and killed the man.
This record exists so that Hector Manuel Bello Jr., and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
