At Rest

Deadly force
Escalante and Carlos James Cipriano used a pellet gun to steal car keys from an AME pastor. Officers tracked Escalante and Cipriano, finding them parked in the pastor's Nissan and speaking to a bystander. The officers told the two men to surrender. Escalante put the other in reverse, nearly striking Officer Timothy Payovitch and Sergeant Roger Rudloff. They and a third officer shot at the other multiple times, killing Escalante and wounding Cipriano.
This record exists so that Luis Anthony Escalante aka Luis Antonio Escalante, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
