How they died
Deadly force
Levanos was holding a knife with his arms and chest covered in blood as he approached police on a downtown street corner mid-afternoon. He ignored repeated demands to drop the knife, and was shot to death. Levanos had serious mental health issues and was off his medication; reporting linked his shooting with the closure of a local hospital and lack of services for similar patients. His family collected $50K from the city.
