At Rest

Deadly force
Maria Rodriguez was on top of a stone pile at a stone manufacturing business. Three officers arrived on the scene to persuade her to leave the business. Maria then pulled out a replica of a gun and pointed it at the officers. Officers then fired on Maria, killing her. Sheriffs initially identified the victim as Sarah Bustamante, but later retracted this name and identified the victim as Maria Rodriguez.
This record exists so that Maria Rodriguez, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
More lives from the archive.
