Jose Aaron Gonzalez

Deadly force

Police were called to a home to serve a search warrant for the Arizona Department of Transportation regarding an investigation into identity theft and forgery. Several people left the residence without incident. Police said they then saw Gonzalez flee down the hallway where he hid in a back room inside a closet armed with a handgun. As officers were still outside the home, Gonzalez reportedly confronted officers, pointing a gun at them from the hallway. Three officers shot and killed Gonzalez.
