How they died

Deadly force

Around 5 p.m., deputies responded to a domestic dispute involving a firearm between a man and woman in a other. Oscar Najera drove away in the other. Deputies found the unattended other parked at a Stripes gas station in Roswell. While searching the area, a deputy reportedly found Najera behind a residence on Evergreen Street. He fled on foot, and a foot pursuit took place. During the pursuit, the deputy reportedly discharged his Taser unsuccessfully, and Najera continued to flee. Najera then ran toward the front of another residence on Evergreen Avenue and was met by two deputies. Deputies Raul Ramos and Ricardo Delgado reportedly drew their firearms and gave commands to Najera before shooting and killing him.
