Big Payout in Drug Raid Killing of Ex-Marine
    #18881538 - 09/23/13 05:47 PM (10 years, 4 months ago)



An Arizona county and several towns will pay big-time for the killing of homeowner Jose Guerena in a 2011 SWAT drug raid. The jurisdictions will pay $3.4 million to his widow to settle a lawsuit she filed after his death, the Associated Press reported last Thursday.

Jose Guerena
Guerena was gunned down in the hallway of his home by invading SWAT officers as he crouched defensively with an AR-15 in his hands. Five SWAT officers fired 72 shots at him, hitting him 22 times and killing him on the spot.

He had early that morning from working an overnight shift at the ASARCO mine, and was asleep in bed when his wife warned him that armed assailants were surrounding the house. He instructed his wife and four-year-old son to hide in a closet while he grabbed his rifle and went to confront the intruders. Police initially claimed he fired first, but that turned out not to be the case.

The case became a cause célèbre for critics of aggressive police tactics, even roiling the waters of the local Republican Party. A Google search for "Jose Guerena" now returns more than 62,000 hits.

His widow filed a $20 million lawsuit against Pima County and the towns of Marana, Sahuarita, and Oro Valley, all of which had officers on the SWAT team. She alleged that the SWAT team acted negligently throughout, beginning with the signing of the search warrant and extending to the period after Guerena was shot, when police left him lying on the floor for more than an hour before allowing medical treatment to begin.

Pima County prosecutors could find no fault with the raid or the SWAT team.

"Under the circumstances, and based upon our review of all the available evidence, we have concluded that the use of deadly forces by the SWAT Team members was reasonable and justified under the law," rule Pima County District Attorney Barbara LaWll. "Accordingly, the Pima County Attorney's Office finds no basis to prosecute," she concluded in her report.

Anyone who thinks the drug war is close to an end should realize this judgement shows there is a long way to go.

Personally I am let down. How can they justify making mistake on who to raid? They must have had to so they could justify using deadly force in a raid that should not have even happend

How Re they not responsible when they fired over 70 shots at someone who did not shoot, and was not breaking any laws. 

this is rediculous and all the members of the swat team should have tp turn in their badges.

filthy scum.

just goes to show police can commit murder right in the open and have nothing happen to them.

I wouldn't be surprised if this guy was actually a target. He must have gotten too close to some dirty cops operation or someone needed him gone. Cause you know swat ran in there guns blazing, shoot now ask questions later.

Thank the lord none of those 48 (prob more) bullets that missed didn't go through the wall and hit a kid. If they're going to gun down a man in a hall way like he's a fish in a barrel, they should at least have someone who wont miss 2/3 times do the shooting
