I read into this a bit more. The complete story is even crazier. Cops went to the wrong house, should have been across the street. One officer went around back and shot the guys dog, rookie officer thought shots were coming from the house and shot through the door hitting this guy in the back of the head. There happened to be a rifle in the house, not near the body according to the wife, and the cops are saying he’s an undocumented immigrant so has no rights and bringing up a dui and assault charge from the early 90s to justify their shooting of a “criminal” they claim was pointing a gun at them. Also, they weren’t legally married apparently just had been together for many many years so they’re saying his common law wife isn’t entitled to anything. She went to a lawyer not even asking for money, she wants someone held accountable. There is a civil suit and last I saw a judge ruled that it can not be dismissed as the cops/city wanted and has to proceed to court. I hope the family gets some kind of justice but wouldn’t hold my breath. This is terrible.

"At a house with no active warrants" literally describes me.
