I’ve been getting email about this case for months, and I regret that I haven’t had the time to look into it in much detail. But here’s the gist:
Police in McKinney, Texas claim Guillermo Urquiza, an illegal immigrant, solicited a hit man to kill a police officer.
Police then raided Urquiza’s home in the middle of the night looking for evidence of the murder solicitation. Urquiza says he thought he was being invaded, so he grabbed a gun to defend himself.
Urquiza didn’t get off a shot, but the raiding police team shot him him multiple times, including in the stomach and groin. He needed seven surgeries, including one that resulted in his castration.
Urquiza was never indicted for hiring a hit man. But he was charged with shooting at the police officers who raided his home in the middle of the night. He is convicted of assault, and sentenced to five years in prison. This is the only charge for which Urquiza is charged and convicted.I’ve been corresponding over email with another man who says the same McKinney, Texas SWAT team shot him after a botched raid. He’s asked me to keep the details confidential for now due to pending litigation.
More, from an admitedly pro-Urquiza perspective, here.
