How they died
Deadly force
Police on the lookout for a stolen cruiser around 5 a.m. on a Sunday discovered Sordetto, who fit the description. Although innocent of the car theft he resisted arrest. This resistance developed into a violent struggle between the two. Punched in the head repeatedly, the officer was only able to draw and fire on Sordetto once, killing him, before passing out on the street.
