Jeronimo Zamora Jr.

How they died

No

Deputies were called to a home by a woman who said her boyfriend was inside his home screaming with a knife. When deputies arrived, they found 46-year-old Jeronimo Zamora Jr. outside the home sweating profusely with a major cut on his wrist. Zamora initially waited for paramedics to arrive to treat his wound, but later tried to push his way through deputies to get back inside the home. As the deputies tried to restrain him he fought with them, and they used their pepper spray and handcuffed him. By the time the paramedics arrived, Zamora had already lost consciousness. He woke up and started fighting the deputies. After a struggle, the paramedics gave him a sedative through an injection so that he could be transported to the hospital. By morning, Zamora was dead.
