Lakewood Police officer shot and killed a 24-year-old man, Adam Bernal, as he was allegedly stealing a construction trailer. Reports indicated another officer might have been in danger of being run over by Bernal. On Jan. 3, police responded to a call in the 1600 block of Ammons Street. A woman's ex-boyfriend, 37-year-old James Abeyta, was threatening officers with two knives. The clustered shootings created controversy in the community. Some residents questioned what exactly the actions indicated. Police officials maintained that use of deadly force could occur anytime, and that there was no significance to the statistical anomaly. On March 13, officers were called to a domestic disturbance in the 3200 block of Indiana Street, where police fired at a frantic man, Andrew Constable, who later died. The shooting was ruled a suicide. All three officers were cleared in the shootings.
