Jack Alton Stuart

How they died

Deadly force

Stewart entered a liquor store with a garden hose. Officer J.L Gutierrez, responding to a suspicious person call, confronted Stuart. Stuart tried to flee in the officer's patrol car, then ran behind the store. He returned and approached the officer, possibly concealing one hand. The officer fatally shot him in the chest. Though Stewart was severely bipolar, it is not clear what the officer knew about his mental state.
