How they died
Deadly force
Around 11 p.m., an undercover sergeant pointed a .40-caliber Springfield pistol, a Surefire X300 flashlight mounted to the frame, at Alcala, who was reportedly a drug dealer. The sergeant said that he tried to depress the lever that activated the flashlight. He fatally shot Alcala. Alcala's family received a $245,000 from the City of Plano. The sergeant, who was not publically named, was demoted to officer and suspended for 90 days.
