After allegedly shoplifting in Target and brandishing scissors at a security guard, Conoscenti led Sheriffs on a 30-minute slow speed pursuit to a dead end street with stairs leading to the beach. After sitting in the car approx.15 minutes he got out carrying a wooden stick and walked quickly to the stairs. Police shot beanbags and a K-9 chased him as he ran down the stairs. When he reached the bottom, police waiting at the side shot him several times. He died a short time later at a hospital. In June 2014 his family filed a $10m wrongful death suit.
