OLIVIA, Minn. – Friends and family have identified the man who was fatally shot by a police officer over the weekend in western Minnesota.
A cousin, Jessica Laro, identified him as 32-year-old Ricardo Torres Jr. He was shot in alley about 2 a.m. Sunday in Olivia. Officials say Torres was armed and confronted a police officer. Laro says Torres would never confront a police officer.
Natasha Lindner, Torres’s partner, said she and Torres have been together for four years and that he is the father of their 9-month-old daughter. Lindner says Torres was known to carry a pellet gun and questions the city’s description of what happened.
