At Rest

Deadly force
Salvador Morales was suspected of holding his estranged wife and baby at gunpoint, shooting his brother in law in the neck, then fleeing with his wife and the child, leading police on a chase to Concord and back, and ultimately barricading himself in a Pittsburg home. Officers fired a 40mm beanbag projectile, designed to be "less-lethal," at him, and he allegedly returned fire at officers and was shot and killed.
This record exists so that Salvador Morales, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
More lives from the archive.
