How they died
Deadly force
About 12:40 a.m., deputies responded to reports of a man suffering from a mental health crisis. Family members said Marcelo Garcia suffered from schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. When the deputy arrived, he was met at the front door by Garcia, who was armed. The pair moved into the street as Garcia allegedly refused to drop his knife. The deputy reportedly attempted to use his Taser on Garcia, who was still armed with his knife, and then shot and killed him.
