据美国《福斯新闻网》报导，去年11月23日，罗德里兹涉嫌持枪抢劫一间商店，警方获报后立刻赶抵现场，随后罗德奎兹透过商店的得来速窗户爬出来，并对著警方面前弃枪投降，但下一秒，罗德里兹马上被警方狂轰13枪倒下，罗德里兹虽被送医，但医师宣告不治身亡。
验尸报告指出，罗德里兹几乎全身都中弹，且身上并无其他致命武器。对此，罗德里兹的家人透过律师控告警方执法过当，并向奥克拉荷马市府要求17.5万美元赔偿金。
但奥克拉荷马市警局反驳，称当时罗德里兹不遵照警方指令，因此警方才开枪执法。
支持罗德里兹少年的民众表示，他们乐见执法影片曝光并对检察官的起诉感到满意，也认为警方执法缺乏透明。

罗德奎兹在弃枪后，被警方狂轰13枪倒下。
This is excellent reporting by the NYT on 15 year old Stavian Rodriguez, who was killed by police *after* he obeyed their command to put down his gun. NYT can't quite bring themselves to say out loud why you've never heard of him until now. But at least they showed his face. https://t.co/OZYzpOs2ca pic.twitter.com/Dm1Sd1FqOX
