Gunshots immediately commence. Perez and Carrillo take a few steps back toward the building entrance as they fire eleven rounds in approximately six seconds. When the gunshots cease, Perez informs Carrillo, "She's down."

Figure 7. Magnified and enhanced screenshot from Carrillo's BWV showing Carrillo aiming his firearm upward. Immediately below his left wrist, a black handgun is seen in the distance, extended forward and aimed downward toward the bottom of the stairs.

After independent verification from an unknown officer that Marquez is disabled, Perez' BWV shows Perez walking up the stairs. Marquez' legs come into view and a black handgun is seen on the stairs next to her left foot. Perez calls out, "We got the gun," and a moment later the sound of an object tumbling down the stairs is heard. Marquez is unresponsive and is subsequently taken away by paramedics.

Social Media

Investigators reviewed Marquez' Facebook records and located posts in which Marquez described herself as terminally ill and suffering from multiple health conditions. In the period between April 2018 and June 2018, Marquez posted, "This disease is supposed to be terminal. When will it finally terminate me cuz I'm so done!" She again posted, "This disease is supposed to be terminal...WHEN???? I've reached my limit. I'm physically and mentally exhausted," and then described death as liberty.
