 Figure 2. Perspective from Carrillo's position during the officer-involved shooting.

Carrillo and Perez approached Marquez, who had fallen backward on the upper section of the stairs, with her head resting on the top step. Carrillo saw a black handgun by her left foot, which Perez kicked down the stairs. Upon seeing Marquez unconscious, the officers cleared the apartment of additional threats, at which time Carrillo saw on the bed the scissors that Marquez held up before reaching for the gun.
