An internal investigation conducted by the Collier County Sheriff’s Office says that the deputy was acting reasonably and within office policy when he chose to use his gun instead of his Taser.
However, the family and many in the community believe the state attorney’s office and the sheriff’s office failed them.
Nicolas Morales, 37, was shot and killed in September of 2020 after he was banging on someone’s door with a shovel and garden shears. He didn’t put them down when deputies asked him to.
