José Guerena Killed For Nothing No Drugs Found, Video

The Pima County Sheriff’s Department didn’t find drugs or anything else close to drugs in the home of deceased Marine José Guerena, reported the Arizona Daily Star:

Reports show about $100,000 in cash, marijuana and firearms were seized that morning from the four homes that were searched.

Items found in Jose Guerena’s house included: a Colt .38-caliber handgun, paperwork, tax returns, insurance papers, bank statements and a bank card, reports showed.

A video of the SWAT team members who were involved in the shooting of Guerena, in which he was hit 60 times by 71 bullets in 7 seconds, is here. I’m not a cop so I can’t judge what happened from this video with any authority, but it’s worth a watch.

In case you don’t recall, we reported that on May 5 the Pima County Sheriff’s Department SWAT shot 26 year-old José Guerena, 26, 71 times, wounding him about 60, as they executed a search warrant on his home. The former Marine who served two tours in Iraq was killed when he saw men with guns advancing on his home. Police accidentally shot a gun; the resulting confusion lead to Guerena bleeding out and dying in his own home. Police refused to allow medical personnel in to help save his life.

    It is absolutely disgustingly and glaringly obvious that everyone of these “swat” members went to this home with intentions of getting in a shoot-out with somebody. I feel so sorry for this poor man’s family and friends. How can they find comfort when his death was unjustified and the result of hysterical gun fire?
