At Rest

Deadly force
Morin was wanted on two two nonviolent felony warrants. He was visiting relatives and a deputy staked out the relative's house in order to serve arrest Morin. When Morin and his relatives returned home from dinner, the deputy attempted to arrest the unarmed Morin, a scuffle ensued, ending with the deputy shooting and killing Morin in front of his family. A federal civil rights lawsuit was filed against Riverside County on Aug. 26. Riverside County Sheriff's deputy Oscar Rodriguez was arrested for murder when the fact of a lovers' triangle with Morin's girlfriend came to light.
This record exists so that Luis Carlos Morin Jr., and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
