At Rest

Deadly force
Undocumented Guatemalan immigrant Ramos was the passenger in a Ford minivan. The driver was arrested without incident, but the deputy and Ramos got into a confrontation that left the deputy with a slashed hand and Ramos dead from multiple gunshot wounds. Police were tight-lipped about details until announcing manslaughter charges against the deputy five weeks later. The deputy torched his own house and car, then fatally shot himself.
This record exists so that Marino Sarbelio Ramos, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
