How they died
Deadly force
Carey, driving a reportedly stolen white 2004 BMW, tried and failed to fill a prescription at a Wal-Mart pharmacy drive-through window and at the counter inside the store. He returned to the BMW. Using a toy HK pistol, he tried to rob a bystander. The bystander fled. Carey dropped the toy pistol. Officer Victor Del Fierro arrived and told him not to pick it up. Carey picked it up. Officer Del Fierro shot Carey in the head and belly, and kicked the toy pistol away. Carey died. An autopsy found drugs in his system.
