How they died

Deadly force

Blanca E. Cadavid was shot, presumably by Josue Drumond-Cruz, early during a police standoff. Around 11:15 p.m., officers heard shots fired. They responded and found Josue Drumond-Cruz, 34, who was uncooperative, went into the house and then came back out on the front porch with a rifle. Officers determined that a woman and two children were inside the house during this time and located a search warrant and arrest warrants during this time. When police tried to breach the door at about 3 a.m., they were fired upon, and three officers were injured. Additional gunshots were heard at about 10:10 a.m. Police said Drumond-Cruz continued to fire out of the home throughout the morning. Just after 10 a.m., Drumond-Cruz fired at Greensboro Police who shot and killed him.
