How they died
Deadly force
Officers served a narcotics warrant at a residence. Knowing that Montemayor, in the residence, was armed, they called SWAT. SWAT officers arrived, announced themselves with a loudspeaker and tried to enter the residence through the front and side. As officers broke a window on the side of the house, Montemayor pointed a pistol at them. They shot him. He was taken to Ben Taub Hospital, but was dead when he arrived.
