Police killings

Jacinto Zavala

Male, Hispanic

Date of the incident: 8/13/2014

Greeley, Weld, CO
1300 Fourth Street

An intoxicated Zavala confronted officers at his home at 3 a.m. and was fatally shot by police. Family statements decried the behavior and differed sharply with the police news release: instead of being heavily armed with multiple weapons, family claimed only a BB gun was found at the scene, and the police apparently also sought to dispute Zavala's status as a veteran.
