How they died
Deadly force
Torres decided to commit suicide after a long struggle with drug addiction that he had concealed from his family. He called a suicide hotline, which told police to respond. Officers went to Torres's residence, then found him walking down a road with a .38-caliber revolver. Torres taunted officers, put the gun to his chest but did not shoot himself. He shot at officers. Officers fatally shot him.
