Macias was approached by two citizens accusing him of stealing on November 8, 2014. He pulled out a gun and threatened to kill him.
On July 28, 2015, deputies went to Macias’ house to arrest him on outstanding felony warrants.
Macias fired at the deputies and they returned fire. Eventually, Macias surrendered and was taken to the hospital for multiple gunshot wounds.
