How they died
Deadly force
Deputies received an alert from an automated license plate reader about a stolen car in the area of Highland and Victoria avenues, police said. Deputies found the car in the parking structure of the San Manuel Indian Bingo & Casino and began surveillance. A short time later, deputies watched a man and woman--Michael Russo and Ath Pen--get into the car. When deputies tried to get the pair to get out of the car, the man put it in reverse, striking and dragging a deputy. At least one deputy fired at the car and struck and killed Russo. The car continued to travel at a high rate of speed through the parking structure. As it barreled down a ramp, it smashed into two cars and a metal barrier in the structure's second level. Police alleged vehicular assault.
