Deadly force
At about 8:30 p.m., Miami-Dade police officers were watching the apartment of Reynaldo Cabrera Hernandez, who allegedly killed his wife. Hernandez called family members and said he wanted police to kill him. Officers Corey Thomas and Martin Amaran were in an unmarked sport-utility other in front of the building, and Officer Miguel Carballosa was in an unmarked pickup truck in the back. When Hernandez appeared at the front of the building Thomas pointed his gun at him, and Carballosa approached him from the back. Amaran ran to Hernandez and reached to pat him down, but police said Hernandez twisted away. Amaran saw a gun and started shouting, "Gun! Gun!" All three officers fired their weapons, killing Hernandez.
This record exists so that Reynaldo Cabrera Hernandez, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
