How they died
Deadly force
Manny Morales' sister called 911 because her brother was drinking said he was "going to die" and was brandishing a knife. Police said Morales locked himself in a bedroom yelled that he had a shotgun and warned police not to enter. Two officers forced their way in around 1 a.m. and found Morales pointing a rifle. Officer Matthew Cuba fired a stun gun but only one prong made contact. Officer Albert Riccardi fired his handgun hitting Morales twice on the left side of his chest, killing him.
