Teenager Shot By Drug Agents Dies
14-Year-Old Taken Off Life-Support
Posted: 8:51 a.m. CST February 12, 2003
SAN ANTONIO -- A teenage girl who was shot by Drug Enforcement Administration agents died Tuesday night at Wilford Hall Medical Center.
Ashley Villarreal (pictured, left), 14, was taken off life-support equipment after she was declared brain dead from a gunshot wound she suffered to the back of her head late Sunday night.
DEA officials and San Antonio police officials said that agents fired four rounds at a car Villarreal was driving because the vehicle was speeding toward them and they suspected the girl's father, a suspected drug dealer, was in the vehicle trying to get away. Joey Angel Villarreal, who was the subject of surveillance that night, was not in the car with his daughter. He ended up turning himself in to authorities Monday.
"It was no mistake," said Daniel Robles, a family friend who was in the car with the teen. "It was no accident."
Robles said the agents were not wearing rain gear during the surveillance and claimed that they allegedly boxed in Villarreal's car and opened fire.
"These are professionals," Robles said. "There's nothing professional about this."
Law officers declined to respond to Robles' version or to discuss details of the case Tuesday, citing a pending investigation.
Robles, who was with family members when they said they last goodbyes to the teen, said he promised her that his version of the story will come out.
"Ashley's dead. They took her life. Nothing's gonna bring it back," Robles said.

"Why do all you legalizers take the word of druggies and
their hangers on?"
She got shot in the *back* of her head.
Who are *You* going to believe:
the JBTs or your lying eyes?

Texas Teen Shot by DEA Agents Dies After Being Taken Off Life Support The girl was shot Sunday when Drug Enforcement Administration agents mistook her for her father, Joey Angel Villarreal, a three-time convicted drug offender. Joey Angel Villarreal turned himself in and was charged with cocaine trafficking Monday.
DEA investigators arrived Tuesday to review the shooting and San Antonio police also were investigating. Authorities give this account of the shooting: Plain clothes agents saw a man they thought was Joey Angel Villarreal come out of a house and get into the passenger side of a car.So they mistake the girl for the suspect and they see a man get into the passenger side who they thought was the suspect, yet they manage to shoot the driver who they originally thought was the suspect instead of the man who got in the passenger side who they thought was the suspect.
Are you as confused as I am?

Her dad killed her.
DEA agents killed her!

Dennis,
I don't know where you live, but here in South Florida, we have an epidemic of people impersonating police officers.
Furthermore, we have the police spokesman on record saying that if an unmarked car try to stop a citizen, the citizen should find a well-lit area with plenty of people around before stopping. Otherwise, the citizen should not stop.
Being blocked in a blind alley, I will probably try to ram my way out of it.

It never fails, the "cops do no wrong" crowd comes out of the woodwork, every time. Amazing, isn't it?
I wonder how these guys would respond if one of their family was butchered like this?
Would they finally realize that the drug war is dangerous to the innocent, or would they still praise the JBTs and the almighty power of the State?
To: dennisw
These were DEA not the cops nobody ever calls the DEA except for paid snitches. The gal wasn't likely a druggie she was just a dealer's daughter. And yes I think the DEA is full of crap there story simply isn't possible.

You ought to wait for the facts to come out. If she was trying to kill police with the car, then I have zero problem with this shooting. Why do all you legalizers take the word of druggies and their hangers on? I don't think you would trust a junkie in your own life.

What I don't trust is a trigger happy, Ninja Suited Thug with a badge looking to grease someone legally. It is happening way too often.

Thank you for your civility, Dane.
I can see you are making a sincere effort.
But you're still wrong; these DEA bozos are out of control.(at least, out of American control)
To: ActionNewsBill
Her crime *seems* to be ramming police cars. I'm waiting for more facts.
How would you feel if your brother or father was in one of the police cars? I sure would shoot someone who was trying to kill me with a car. What's a 14 year old doing driving anyway?

I bet you don't live in an area that is drug infested.

The cops are never wrong in DaneWorld,
Right there you decided to take a personal animistic position towards me.
What a cry-baby. BTW, it's the truth. The cops can do no wrong in your world.
Like I said my previous posts before yours (replies #8 and #15) were civil and stated my point of view of this situation.
Your point of view is that the cops can do no wrong, no matter what the situation.
Family pets, 14 year-olds, old men...it doesn't matter to you.
You are the consumate jack-boot licker.
Now there's an ad hominem for you.

Next time you have trouble don't call the police, call a drug pusher...... Good suggestion....then I won't have to worry about getting shot in the back of the head, or have my dog shot.

I bet you don't live in an area that is drug infested. I used to think Wellesley was pretty clean but ive heard things lately. I live in Worcester for the school year im sure its infested I just don't associate with that element. They are everwhere the DEA is a useless gestapo and ive still yet to hear of anyone calling them the way they would the cops.

Okay, so she rammed a cops car. You shoot the tires out from under the vehicle. You block the vehicle in. You Identify yourself as Police.
Fact is the Jack Booted Thug that shot this kid in the back decided at that time to be the Judge, jury and executioner.

She was murdered in cold blood.

I don't know where you live, but here in South Florida, we have an epidemic of people impersonating police officers.So what are you trying to say? Don't ever obey the police? Do you want anarchy?
I don't romanticize drug dealers and their families. They sell poison to make their big bucks. COCAINE IS POISON! They push poison and bring this on themselves and their families. It's called instant karma. I blame dad. Her dad killed her
