Gardena, Los Angeles, CA

Police were responding to a robbery, and were told two Latino men were involved. As they approached the call, two Latino men on bicycles were coming toward them. They stopped them, and gave them orders in Spanish and English. Diaz-Zeferino showed up and apparently attempted to explain the situation, but police misinterpreted his motives and shot and killed him.
