Officers shot and killed Illuminado Lopez, 44, of Cleveland, who was drunk, depressed and wielding a butcher knife in the street near his home on West 52nd Street. Lopez refused orders to drop the knife, and continued to act aggressively after he was shot with a Taser, so the officers gunned him down. Family members said Lopez never threatened the officers, but only threatened to kill himself if police didn't shoot him.
