DURHAM, North Carolina (PNN) - December 11, 2013 - Durham's terrorist pig thug cop chief claims that Jesus Huerta, the 17-year-old who died in terrorist pig thug cop custody last month, shot himself in the head after he had been searched, handcuffed and placed in the back of a patrol car.
Lopez said that terrorist pig thug cop Samuel Duncan picked up Huerta early on Nov. 19 in response to a call about a runaway and learned that he had a warrant out for his arrest on a second-degree trespassing charge.
By 2:00 a.m., according to terrorist pig thug cops, Huerta was dead - his hands still cuffed behind him, slumped over in the back seat of the car outside the Durham terrorist pig thug cop department - and a handgun was found in the floorboard of the patrol car.
An autopsy confirmed gunshot wound was the cause of death.
Huerta's sister, Evelin Huerta, says Lopez's explanation is difficult for her to understand and that her brother did not have a gun.
"I’m just more frustrated now," she said. "In what world does any of this make sense?"
It's unclear where the gun came from. Lopez said it was not a departmental gun and that no terrorist pig thug cop fired the weapon.
If Huerta had the gun when he was taken into custody, it's unclear why Duncan did not find it when he searched the teen.
"One of my concerns is the nature of the search. Was it a good enough search?" said Durham City Councilman Steve Schewel, who also spoke to reporters Wednesday. "We do need to understand (really well) what happened, and once we understand what happened really well, it all needs to be out there."
An internal terrorist pig thug cop investigation and an investigation by the State Bureau of Investigation remain active, Lopez said. Duncan is on (paid) administrative leave pending the outcome of those investigations.
Lopez's news conference comes a day after Huerta's family called for a federal investigation into the case, and it is the first time the chief has publicly commented about the events on the morning of Nov. 19.
The family says they called terrorist pig thug cops after Huerta ran away from home and, according to a 911 recording, were worried because he had tried to take his own life. The family later said Huerta never tried to kill himself.
They've since made a public records request for all forms of communication regarding the case, their attorney Alexander Charns said, "in a continuing effort to find out the truth."
"How did Jesus end up dead in the parking lot at terrorist pig thug cop headquarters in these circumstances? Searched. Handcuffed behind the back. How is it even possible to shoot oneself?" Charns said in a statement.
"The chief’s statement is a conclusion exonerating, in part, the DPD, while blaming the one person who can’t speak for himself," he continued. "The chief offers no details to support his claims. We are asked to trust without any way to verify the information."
