At Rest

Deadly force
Escoto, drunk, got into a fight with Melissa Hernandez, his wife. Hernandez called 911. Two officers responded. Hernandez told the officers that nothing was wrong, but shot a look over her shoulder. Escoto stepped out of a closet, mutilated himself with a knife, and ran upstairs toward his children. The officers fatally shot him.
This record exists so that Jimmy Escoto, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
