TUCSON (KGUN9-TV) - The Pima County Medical Examiner has released the official autopsy report on the death of Jose Guerena, the 26-year-old former U.S. Marine who was shot to death in a SWAT raid on May 5. The report confirms what a spokesman previously said to KGUN9 News by phone, that Guerena's body had 22 bullet entrance wounds. The report also shows that Guerena had many exit wounds as well. There were no drugs in his system.
The autopsy lists the manner of death as "homicide" caused by "multiple gunshot wounds." In the case of a Medical Examiner's report, this is a legal term that simply means the victim died at the hands of another human being. The term has no bearing on whether the shooting was justified. Separate investigations into that question are underway.
The report also notes that the body shows "no evidence of medical intervention."
It goes on to note in detail the entrance location and trajectory of each wound, most of which were on the victim's extremities.
The medical examiner found, in order:
one wound to the head, which the report describes as a graze;
one wound to the right upper chest;
one to the right lower chest;
one to the left upper abdomen;
three to the right upper arm;
one to the right elbow;
one to the right hand;
one to the left upper arm;
one to the left elbow;
one to the left forearm;
one to the left hand;
two to the right thigh;
one to the right calf,
one to the right foot;
four to the left thigh;
and one to the left foot.

You say I am a cheap shot, by taking a cheap shot.
I guess you don’t know what a cheap shot is. You’ve earned what everyone on this thread has said about you.
Like I care about the usual Trolls posting the same insults from earlier threads on this same story - including you who continues now after what, 2 weeks later?
I pity you.
Even though you don’t really deserve spit from me - you are just so pathetic I can’t help it.
Now continue with yourself, no life Troll.
What you wrote...Guerena's mugshot, following a 2009 arrest involving drugs and a weapon
Why do you choose to hang yourself?
You posted the old pic to the old story instead of getting the updated article and pic.
Shame on you. Why did you do that? To push a certain POV?
Did you get there from here?
Mexican U.S. Marine shot to death by SWAT had prior arrest
The article you got your pic from is the one that is up there.
So, yeah, you're right in that you posted the caption as it existed on that particular article. Big whoop!
You're wrong though in that you didn't give the article title which would have avoided the grief you're catching and you're wrong in that you used an older story for a reference.
Probe clears 5 SWAT-raid officers
A close examination of the AR-15 rifle Guerena was holding at the time he was shot revealed that the bullet damage was done at an angle that indicated Guerena was pointing it at the officers, Berkman wrote in the letter.
So they've concluded that he was pointing it at them after the fact. And there's no possibility whatsoever that the rounds striking the rifle (which I guess is what they are talking about when they say they "examined" the rifle) hit it after he was struck and his body reacted...right?
Guerena was at the end of a hallway holding a rifle when officers began shooting at him, SWAT officers said in narrative reports of the raid.
Guerena did not shoot, and his AR-15 rifle had the safety on and a round in the chamber when he was killed, sheriff's officials said.
If I was headed down a hallway I would have my weapon facing forward as well though I would have already flipped the safety.
Facts are inconvenient things sometimes, aren't they.
You're gullible as well as stupid.
"He fired at us so we returned fire."
Deputies first said Jose Guerena fired at officers...
They used that as justification to open fire.
"The officers were mistaken in believing that Mr. Guerena fired at them," Berkman wrote. "However, when Mr. Guerena raised the AR-15 semiautomatic assault rifle in their direction, they needed to take immediate action to stop the deadly threat against them."
How could he raise his weapon to threaten them when he didn't even get the chance to do so? They "heard a shot", so they say, and immediately opened fire! He may have raised his rifle after they started shooting, but I don't see him raising it beforehand.
This story has more holes in it than Guerena's body.
You deserve spit.
But Storie also said that the SWAT team knew nothing of the previous arrest when it attempted to execute a search warrant at Guerena's home on May 5.
Kind of an important little detail. The SWAT team had no cause to see Jose as a criminal of any kind much less dangerous.
In my opinion, yes. The SWAT team members were going to kill someone, he just had the unfortunate luck, if that is what you want to call it, to be raided next.
That is funny as hell coming from a despicable troll like you.
They did it. And up until this point in time have gotten away with it.
LOL Join the club, buddy. I’m on his troll list too. Haaaaaaa!
Actually they should be prosecuted, but, instead they will be promoted.
