Jonathan Daniel Mansilla

How they died

Deadly force

A search for Jonathan Daniel Mansilla began when a hit-and-run car crash was reported in a Goodwill parking lot. Police were then advised to be on the lookout for a black 2009 Chevrolet Cobalt, which was later located in the town of Wallingford. Mansilla was stopped by a member of the county sheriff's office at approximately 2:15 p.m. Mansilla drove away shortly after being stopped. Police found him in a nearby driveway. He reportedly drove away from deputies again, who reportedly ended their pursuit. Mansilla's sedan was next seen turning onto Allen Street in Rutland, adjacent to the McDonald's restaurant, where police said it crashed into the back of a UPS truck. He ran inside of the McDonald's. Officer Christopher Rose became involved during the response to the crash with the UPS truck, when he saw Mansilla run into the restaurant and chased him inside. Mansilla ran into the men's restroom, followed by Rose. The officer reported seeing his legs underneath a gap in the bottom of a restroom stall. Mansilla allegedly opened the stall and ran toward Rose, and the officer reported seeing something in the man's hand that later turned out to be a cellphone before he shot and killed him.
