Ramiz Othman

Deadly force

Off-duty officer Aaron Carranza shot and killed Ramiz Othman after he allegedly came at him with a tire iron. At around 9:15 a.m. Carranza said Othman kicked in the officer's basement door, and that he confronted Othman when he came upstairs. Othman allegedly advanced toward Carranza with a tire iron raised above his head and began swinging it at Carranza, who then shot Othman multiple times with his personal, Sig Sauer 9-millimeter handgun. Carranza testified that he shot Othman in the back while Othman was on the ground, and that he stopped firing when he ran out of bullets.
