Deputies Austin O'Neill and Joshua Berrios responded to an apartment the couple shared after the 24-year-old woman reported that Valladares pulled her hair and ripped her robe during an argument, police said. While they were interviewing her, the woman's mother told the deputies she saw Valladares in the parking lot. Valladares became verbally aggressive as the deputies approached him. He then pulled out a Smith & Wesson .40-claiber handgun from his pocket and raised it up. O'Neill and Berrios drew their guns and shot Valladares. He died on July 24.
