據美國《福斯新聞網》報導,去年11月23日,羅德裏茲涉嫌持槍搶劫一間商店,警方獲報後立刻趕抵現場,隨後羅德奎茲透過商店的得來速窗戶爬出來,並對著警方麵前棄槍投降,但下一秒,羅德裏茲馬上被警方狂轟13槍倒下,羅德裏茲雖被送醫,但醫師宣告不治身亡。
驗屍報告指出,羅德裏茲幾乎全身都中彈,且身上並無其他致命武器。對此,羅德裏茲的家人透過律師控告警方執法過當,並向奧克拉荷馬市府要求17.5萬美元賠償金。
但奧克拉荷馬市警局反駁,稱當時羅德裏茲不遵照警方指令,因此警方才開槍執法。
支持羅德裏茲少年的民眾表示,他們樂見執法影片曝光並對檢察官的起訴感到滿意,也認為警方執法缺乏透明。

羅德奎茲在棄槍後,被警方狂轟13槍倒下。
This is excellent reporting by the NYT on 15 year old Stavian Rodriguez, who was killed by police *after* he obeyed their command to put down his gun. NYT can't quite bring themselves to say out loud why you've never heard of him until now. But at least they showed his face. https://t.co/OZYzpOs2ca pic.twitter.com/Dm1Sd1FqOX
