How they died
Deadly force
A patrol officer noticed that Alvarez wasn't wearing shoes. When the officer asked why the otherwise well-dressed young man was barefoot at 8 a. m., Alvarez backed away and produced a large knife and what appeared to be a meat cleaver, starting a standoff that ended in his death. An investigation into the shooting later found officers shot Alvarez 10 times, killing him, after he threw the cleaver at an officer.
