Navarette was a homicide suspect with a criminal history who vowed not to not go down without a fight. In a raid led by Sioux City Police Department's SWAT team, police broke down Navarette's door and used a flash bang grenade to disable the suspect, who fled to the second floor. He was leaning out an upstairs window when a police sniper shot and killed him after he appeared to threaten officers on the street below. A handgun was found in Navarette's waistband.
