July 28, 20179 yr Sad story. They were there for his neighbor. Mississippi Police Fatally Shoot Man at Wrong House While Serving Warrant - NBC News
July 28, 20179 yr While I understand that there is a greater chance of finding someone at home in the late evening/early morning hours, I've always wondered about the darkness factor ramping up the risk of something bad happening.
July 29, 20179 yr I wonder if the warrant had the wrong address or if the police went to a different address that's on the warrant? I would hope there would be body camera's rolling to corroborate the victim's lawyer story or the police's about verbal warnings and the victim having a gun.

I would hope there would be body camera's rolling to corroborate the victim's lawyer story or the police's about verbal warnings and the victim having a gun. The article said that they went to the wrong address.
July 29, 20179 yr I may be completely wrong, but didn't something similar happen in Mississippi last year?
July 29, 20179 yr The article said that they went to the wrong address. The article said the victim's lawyer said they went to the wrong address. It was obviously the wrong address. Just curious if the warrant had the wrong address listed on it.

July 29, 20179 yr This article says that they went to the wrong address : Police raid wrong home, kill man inside | KGW.com Yes, the police screwed up. A lot of times the address is wrong on the warrant. Sad part, even though the police went to the wrong address, if the guy had a gun and wouldn't put it down, they will not be charged. I sure hope there is camera/video footage proving one way or the other. I know if I was startled at home, the first I would grab is my gun.
July 29, 20179 yr If the address is correct on the warrant and you raid the wrong house, everybody has to go.
July 31, 20179 yr Interesting, I just read there wasn't a written warrant until the next day. The police went at the discretion of another department who gave them phone instructions. Not looking good at all. ttps://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2017/07/27/lawyers-family-slain-man-dispute-police-account/515592001/ The Southaven police were helping officers in neighboring Tate County, Miss., search for a domestic violence suspect. Sheriff Brad Lance said Wednesday that an investigating deputy called Southaven police and gave them the address for Samuel Pearman, who was accused of choking his ex-girlfriend at a gas station earlier Sunday night. Lance said it was his understanding that the officers went to the wrong address. A written warrant wasn't issued for Pearman until the following day, the sheriff said. Pearman is still missing.

August 1, 20179 yr I'm not commenting on what was right or wrong but headlines like the title of this thread immediately mislead people. Based on what I've read, this was NOT a raid. They didn't kick his door in with a no knock warrant. They knocked on the door... there is nothing illegal about that. Police can knock on your door just like anyone else. The story so far as ive seen is... Police knocked on the door, family claims they didn't hear the knock but heard their dog barking. Man opens door, dog runs out and is shot and wounded by police. Police allegedly see him holding a gun at the door way in their direction and tell him to drop it. They say he doesnt and they shoot him. That's the basics of what I've read. If this happened like this, and the police simply knock on his door and he greets them with a gun...what should they do? Is he allowed to point a gun at police if they knock on his door?

He greeted them with a gun, after they shot his dog.
