Event : Killed by police after firing a gun

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On 02/11/2024, at approximately 2:00 a.m., Ada County Sheriff's Office deputies responded to reports of shots fired near the 10000 block of West Seneca Drive in Boise. A resident reported hearing a loud bang and, upon investigating, observed 23-year-old Dominic Nathan Soto discharging a firearm near an irrigation canal. Deputies arrived to find Soto holding a handgun to his head and walking toward a group of deputies positioned on South Five Mile Road.

Deputy Colton McKone left his cover to confront Soto directly.

The Ada County Coroner's Office ruled the cause of death as a gunshot wound to the head, with the manner of death determined to be suicide. The Ada County Critical Incident Task Force conducted an investigation, and the Gem County Prosecuting Attorney concluded that Deputy McKone's actions were justified under Idaho law.

County : Pasco

State : Florida

Agency : US Marshals, Pasco County Sheriff's Office

Officer(s) : Not disclosed

Cause of Death : Gunshot

Event : Killed by police during arrest

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On February 9, 2024, the U.S. Marshals led a militarized arrest operation, supported by the Pasco County Sheriff's Office and other unnamed law enforcement agencies, to apprehend 31-year-old Alfredo Luis Rodriguez in connection with a previous homicide. At approximately 6:45 a.m., the U.S. Marshals Service, accompanied by local law enforcement, arrived at Rodriguez's residence with warrants issued from Pasco and Hillsborough counties. Upon arrival, officers encountered Rodriguez’s pregnant girlfriend at the door and immediately evacuated her from the premises.
.
As officers entered the home, Rodriguez opened fire. A Tampa Police Department officer, assigned to the U.S. Marshals Task Force, returned fire. Rodriguez then engaged in an exchange of gunfire through a window with arriving Pasco County deputies, prompting one deputy to open fire on Rodriguez. This confrontation escalated into a prolonged and intense standoff during which Rodriguez allegedly fired intermittently at law enforcement.
.
The multi-agency task force responded with advanced tactical equipment, including drones, an armored Lenco BearCat vehicle, and a robotic "dog" manufactured by Boston Dynamics, known as Spot. After several hours of relentless pressure, the SWAT team used the BearCat to breach the residence with a battering ram. To further incapacitate Rodriguez, the task force deployed multiple flashbang grenades and tear gas canisters to disorient and overwhelm him.
.
Upon forcing entry into the home, officers discovered Rodriguez deceased from a gunshot wound to the head. Authorities have not confirmed whether the wound was self-inflicted or the result of law enforcement action. No additional information regarding the precise circumstances of his death has been released.
.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) is conducting the investigation into the incident. Final findings will be reviewed by the state attorney’s office for further decision-making. The U.S. Marshals Service, as is standard, does not release body-worn camera footage or detailed reports to the public. All details documented to date are summarized in this text. The identities of all federal agents and officers involved remain fully shielded and have not been disclosed.
