How they died
Deadly force
Officer David Szenyes shot Ramon Vasquez three times during a raid, killing him. Szenyes, stationed outside a garage at Vasquez's home, saw Vasquez running toward him with a holstered gun and shot Vasquez. Szenyes told investigators he had experienced an overwhelming feeling of "sick helplessness" that Vasquez would shoot other officers inside the home. He said he yelled "police, down" and fired as Vasquez took his third stride and made an abrupt turn.
