July 26 (UPI) -- Close to midnight on Sunday, Southaven, Miss., police arrived at the wrong house to serve an arrest warrant and shot a man dead in his own home, according to reports.
Ismael Lopez, 41, was shot dead late Sunday night after he checked to see who was at his front door. But the police were supposed to be across the street to serve an arrest warrant for Samuel Pearman, who was wanted on an assault charge, reported WREG.
"Someone didn't take the time to analyze the address," said Murray Wells, the attorney representing Lopez's family. "This is incredibly tragic and embarrassing to this police department that they can't read house numbers."
DeSoto County Prosecutor John Champion said it was "possible" that police went to the wrong house and confirmed that Lopez's name was not on the warrant.

+Any jackboot licker will tell you that if the cops kill you, you for damn sure are not innocent. You did something, exactly what, they can’t say, but for damn sure, you are not innocent.
It appears that it is. A smallish but growing part.

Wow, what a bunch of morons.
sorry but I forgot the {sarc} tag
I hope there is far more than the usual "paid leave" coming down on this POS cop department.
No love for BLM, but I am coming to agree at some part of how much cops are out of control and not answerable for their mistakes.
Hmmm, smell like dogshit? Taste, taste like dogshit????
SWAG, no gun (unless dropped) will be found.
Idiot, of course a gun was dropped.
Mebbe the street addresses were in cursive??
You be on a roll................
You mean to tell me, that if you or I busted into someone’s house for no reason at midnight and blew a man’s head off, that the police and courts would not accept our claim that it was an “embarrassing mistake?”
“I doubt that the cops will get prosecuted for this.....................”
the only number higher than these cops IQ’s are the caliber of their weapons.
I bet they all carried thirty eights.
The police chief may have carried a forty five.

Them cops gots de X-Ray vision? Damn.
Thanks so much for the explanation. It’s a little clearer. It was the last paragraph that really threw me. Thanks, again.
Why didn’t the cops just shoot the dog instead?
What are you talking about? You lost me.
There are always stories of police shooting dogs when they serve a warrant or enter a house suddenly. Maybe the man did not have a dog to shoot, so they shot him. Just a joke.
