Unarmed Handcuffed Teen Shoots Himself in the Head While In a Police Car

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


In an astounding feat that defies several of the known laws of nature, a 17 year old North Carolina boy managed to shoot himself in the head while his hands were cuffed behind his back. Allegedly, young Jesus Huerta died while he was alone, locked in the back of a police cruiser, after having been patted down.

Yes, you read that right.  The Durham PD is spinning it that way.  I couldn’t make this stuff up if I tried. If this is baffling to you, it’s okay. The police chief realizes that if you aren’t a cop, you might not understand how this could happen.

A Durham teen died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head, Durham Police Chief Jose Lopez said Wednesday afternoon at a news conference.

Lopez said a handgun was found in the car and that Huerta was still handcuffed from behind. He said the wound was self-inflicted.

“The medical examiner’s office has confirmed that Jesus Huerta died from a gunshot wound to his head,” Lopez said. “Whether that wound was accidental or intentional is unknown at this time.”

“I know that it is hard for people not in law enforcement to understand how someone could be capable of shooting themselves while handcuffed behind the back,” Lopez said. “While incidents like this are not common, they unfortunately have happened in other jurisdictions in the past.” (source)

Jesus Huerta had been arrested on an outstanding warrant for second degree trespassing at the time of the fatal shooting, which occurred last month.

Huerta’s family is not buying the official story for a second.

Huerta’s family released a statement following the press conference held by Lopez. The family of Huerta said the press conference did not release any new information to the public.

“How did Jesús end up dead in the parking lot at police headquarters in these circumstances?  Searched.  Handcuffed behind the back.  How is it even possible to shoot oneself?” the statement reads. (source)

The Huerta family has presented a petition with 16,000 signatures to the FBI, demanding that the Department of Justice launch a federal investigation into the death of Jesus Huerta.

“We want answers about how my brother died,” said Evelin Huerta in a written release. “But that can’t be taken out of the context of a police department with a history of discriminating against black and Latino people. Durham Police Department has a problem, and it will take the Department of Justice to make sure no one else loses a son and a brother like my family did.”  (source)

      There is little doubt that this was an execution plain and simple.

      First, police pat you down for their safety, not yours. So the fact that they claim to have missed a gun is extremely unlikely unless they are incompetent to a level that is criminally irresponsible.

      Second, the suspect was arrested for 2nd degree trespassing. This is little more than cutting through someones yard. So motive to take ones own life, out of grief or trying to escape a life in prison simply isn’t the case.

      Third, the chief is suggesting that being in the police service provides a person with some level of understanding that is beyond the scope of the lay person. There is no mention of a toxicology report, so we can accept that there wasn’t any drugs involved. (had there been drugs they would have been all over that as a contributing factor)

      The family needs to have a 3rd party doctor perform a real autopsy. there is simply too much police interference and ass covering for this to receive an unbiased and impartial investigation.
