Two police officers are among the three people charged in connection with the beating of a homeless man in Florida last year. Both officers were removed from active duty before being fired from the department, police chief George Fuente said.
According to an affidavit, Hialeah Police Department officers Lorenzo Orfila and Rafael Otano were working an afternoon patrol shift together on Dec. 17, 2022, when they were dispatched to Los Tres Conejitos Bakery in a Hialeah shopping plaza. The two officers "made contact" with Jose Ortega Gutierrez, who was then handcuffed and put in the backseat of Orfila's police vehicle.
The affidavit notes that Orfilo and Otano did not arrest Gutierrez for "any violation of Florida State Statute and/or Miami-Dade County Ordinance." The officers' body cameras were not activated during the encounter.
Gutierrez was "transported ... against (his) will" to "an isolated and dark area," according to the affidavit. Gutierrez said that he was taken out of the vehicle, still handcuffed, and "punched and pushed onto the floor" by Orfila and Otano.
GPS data from the officers' vehicles confirmed that they took Guttierez to the location he claimed he had been assaulted, according to the affidavit. The route the GPS data showed them taking was also corroborated using surveillance video, the affidavit states. Neither officer logged the trip or the transportation of Guitierrez in their daily reports, which they would have been required to do, according to the affidavit.
Photos of Gutierrez taken after the incident showed lacerations and bruises on his body, including a black eye. According to the affidavit, Gutierrez said he fell unconscious and when he awoke, he was alone and uncuffed. He soon made contact with another person, who called the police, according to the affidavit.
