A warrant had been issued for Delagarza's arrest for domestic violence. He was already on parole for a prior assault conviction. He was cruising around Live Oak County in his Hummer when state troopers and deputies started chasing him. Police put down spike strips that flattened both of his tires. But he did not give up even after authorities spun his Hummer around. Finally, when Delagarza tried to hit a deputy with his car, police opened fire. He died at the scene.
