Lorenzo Cesar Aguilar

How they died

Deadly force

Azusa Police Department officers tried to pull over a person suspected of drunk driving. The driver, later identified as Aguilar, didn't stop the car, and "evaded officers for a brief time." Officers were able to find the car again and the driver stopped. Right after Aguilar pulled over, he exited the car, allegedly armed with a handgun and began to walk away from the officers. Aguilar allegedly "failed to comply with orders," and turned toward the officers with the gun in hand, at which time, they shot and killed him.
