OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
Shortly before 4 p.m. Tuesday, the San Diego PD received a report of a violent dispute at a pharmacy in the 5500 block of Reservoir Drive east of San Diego State University. After forcing entry, they found 66-year-old Mary Ellen Carter of Lakeside suffering from stab wounds to her upper body. She died shortly thereafter. Investigators identified Brower, a work colleague of Carter's assailant and then went to his home on La Cresta Boulevard, located him and they allege he may have reached for a shotgun. SDPD Officers Salvador Laurel-Torres and Robert Raynor opened fire with their service firearms, killing Brower. No officers were charged.
