At Rest

Deadly force
Police responded to a domestic disturbance call about Leon, a Naval Observatory security officer, who had thrown belongings out of his window. Police, finding Leon in his garage with a shotgun, ordered him to drop his weapon. When he did not, officers shot him, then tried to save his life. He later died.
This record exists so that Ricardo Leon, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
