Casillas tried to elude officers when they attempted a routine traffic stop. Casillas sped away, and officers broke off a pursuit after Casillas drove through several traffic lights. Officers again tried to stop Casillas, but he drove to Clovis Avenue and Lansing Way, where he ran from the car. Several officers approached the home where Casillas was reportedly hiding. Officers found Casillas hiding in a backyard, holding a 2-foot-long metal pipe. He refused to surrender and ran toward a police officer with the pipe, so the officer fired his gun and struck Casillas.
