How they died
Deadly force
Officers patrolling a known center of gang activity saw DaVeiga separate himself from two others on their approach, walking away with hands in pockets. Two officers pursued him on foot. When about 10 feet away, DaVeiga opened fire with a handgun, starting a firefight that pulled in seven officers taking cover among parked cars. Hemmed in and with three bullet wounds, DaVeiga shot himself in the head.
