Houston police officer lied in search warrant resulting in a raid that left two dead and five officers injured

A Houston police officer Gerald Gomes got a search warrant to confirm the sale of narcotics in a residence late January CNN reported. Then when officers arrived on January 28 gunfire broke out resulting in two dead and five officers injured.

Gomes told investigators his informants name and they would later learn the informants had worked with Gomes on other cases. However, they did not work with the officer for the warrant that resulted in two shooting deaths.

Houston Police Department Chief Art Acevedo spoke about the incident during a press conference last week.

“It appears there are some material untruths and lies” in Gomes’ initial search warrant affidavit for the home the chief asserted.

“No matter what we end up with here we know we have a criminal violation already — and serious criminal violation — by the individual that prepared that affidavit,” Acevedo continued. “When we prepare a document to go into somebody’s home … it has to be truthful, it has to be honest, it has to be absolutely factual.”

Acevedo went on to say that there is a “high probability there will be a criminal charge.” The police chief said the details of the crime and polices violated are still being investigated. Gomes was injured during the shooting is still getting treatment.

Nicole DeBorde, Gomes’ attorney said her client’s jaw is wired shut, and criticized Acevedo’s comments as irresponsible. Gomes will be relieved of duty when released from the hospital.
