How they died

Deadly force

Deputies investigating the bludgeoning of Ana Mosqueda went to her husband Leonard's house. Leonard tried to stab Deputy William R. Christian. Deputy Christian fatally shot him. Later that year, Vanessa Trevino accused Deputy Christian of raping her at a traffic stop. He was fired, convicted of sexual assault and sentenced to five years in jail. On Aug. 15, 2001, Deputy Christian shot and wounded Keith Davis, alleging a gun-grab that was later disproved by forensics.
