Gonzales, 54 hours sober and suffering alcohol withdrawal, resisted arrest for what Officers Jason W. Buckaloo and Christopher S. Jones believed to be public intoxication. The officers beat him for two minutes. Evelyn Moreno called 911. The officers took Gonzales to jail and treated him for minor injuries. He signed a medical refusal form. Five hours later, Gonzales died because one of his eight broken ribs punctured a lung, drowning him in his own blood.
