Palm Beach County deputies and police officers involved in May's shooting death of 21-year-old who took them on a 19-mile car chase and shot at them have been cleared in the killing, according to a memo released on Monday.
Antonio Isaias died in a hail of more than 280 bullets fired at him by 18 officers after a 33-minute pursuit on city streets and Interstate 95 from west of West Palm Beach to Delray Beach.
Isaias called his mother, Evangelina Magdaleno, on his cell phone and told her: "The cops are behind me; I don't want to go to prison; I will either kill myself or the cops are going to have to kill me."
Eighteen deputies fired more than 280 bullets at Antonio Isaias and his SUV in Delray Beach last May after he got in a fight and led police on a 33-minute chase, firing repeatedly at them as he sped away.
They hit Antonio Isaias of Boynton Beach 31 times, with 18 bullets lodging in his body, State Attorney Barry Krischer wrote in a report. Isaias -- a high school dropout with a steady job and a temper that often got him in trouble with police -- died from two fatal wounds.
His mother, Evangelina Magdaleno, claimed that prior to his suicide, Antonio had began working on controlling his temper. Too little, too late, end result? One dead dumbass. Thank goodness he didn't take anyone with him.
