How they died
Deadly force
Detective Tony Morales said the incident began when an officer spotted a car with stolen license plates and the driver sped off. It ended in the apartment parking lot after the suspect pulled into a parking space. Two officers got out but Morales said that's when the suspect accelerated toward their patrol car. Fearing his partner would be crushed, Morales said Sgt. James Gallagher fired, killing Leyva.
