John Moreno

How they died

Deadly force

Deputies received a 911 call that reported an intruder was terrorizing people at a home. A Hispanic man had gone to a home looking for a person who had since left. The man became angry and threatened the people inside the home and tried to find a way inside. He reportedly got into a semi truck and began ramming cars in a carport, as well as crashing into the home and garage. He was able to get into the home due to the damage he had created. Deputies found the suspect back outside in his other upon arrival. He allegedly drove semi-truck into the deputy's patrol car, and was preparing to hit him again, when Deputy Omar Rodriguez shot and killed him.
