Jimmy Jimenez

How they died

Deadly force

Police found Jimenez in his neighbor's yard at 6 a.m. with revolver in hand, shooting at imaginary prowlers. He'd had no criminal record, although police had previously responded to his reports of burglars who were not there. This day he not only refused to drop the weapon, but fired on officers. They returned fire. Jimenez was charged with several counts of attempted murder before dying of his wounds on May 1.
