How they died
Deadly force
A 911 caller whose home was burglarized the night before said someone in a mask and holding a gun had just knocked on his door and fled when the caller answered. Officer Alma Sweeny saw Rivera walking nearby. Rivera allegedly refused to take his hands out of his pockets and ran away from Sweeney, who chased him. When Sweeney was about 10 feet from Rivera, Rivera allegedly pulled out a gun and fired at Sweeney. Sweeney returned fire, killing Rivera.
