Leonardo J. Barquin

Deadly force

Local Miami police caught up with the unarmed Barquin after he and another man burglarized a house, shot him three times in the back, and beat him severely. Barquin died three days later and required a closed-casket ceremony. Four years later, a veteran whistleblowing county prosecutor posted memos and other internal documents that detailed police malfeasance and cover-up in the case.
