At Rest

Deadly force
Someone spotted Jose Alvarez allegedly stealing items from their car and called 911. When officers arrived, Alvarez ran into a building and hid in the laundry room. Alvarez refused to surrender and a struggle ensued. One officer tasered Alvarez to no effect. Alvarez pulled a handgun from his waistband and officers struggled to gain control of the weapon. Alvarez fired his gun twice, missing both times, before one of the officers shot and killed him.
This record exists so that Jose Alvarez, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
More lives from the archive.
