At Rest

Deadly force
As officers arrived around 3 a.m., Luc Ciel was allegedly stabbing two family members, including his son. Police shot and killed him after he reportedly refused their commands. The family members survived. Despite the fact that he was shot and killed by multiple officers after breaking into his ex-wife's home and attacking her and the family, he died of suicide, according to a ruling by a Contra Costa coroner's inquest jury.
This record exists so that Luc Ciel, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
