Police ask for donations after killing a man

Agustin Murguia, 22, of Long Beach was shot by police
in the 1300 block of Cedar Avenue, officials said. The
dozens of bullets fired during the shootout rattled in his
neighborhood where the alleged gang member lived.
"We heard police helicopters and sirens, then all of a
sudden our house got hit with lots of bullets," said a 16
year-old resident of the house whose porch Murguia
was hiding under.
"The bullets went through our windows and tore up a
sofa and some candles. We hid until (police) pulled us
out a window a few minutes later," she said.
The 3-hour incident began when Gang Enforcement
officers attempted to make contact with Murguia at his
home in the 1200 block of Loma Vista Avenue, said
Officer Israel Ramirez.
Murguia, who lived with an older brother and his mother,
Ignacio Murguia, ran into the house after he saw police,
and when officers followed him inside, he bolted out the
back door, said Sgt. David Cannan. Three gang officers
chased Murguia, who headed northbound on Cedar,
crossed Anaheim Street and ran down an alley. When
Murguia headed eastbound, police quickly set up a
perimeter along Magnolia and Cedar avenues, Anaheim
and 14th streets and called in the department's SWAT
Team and K-9 unit, who began searching for Murguia.
SWAT officers carrying light-mounted guns found him
hiding beneath the porch of a house on Cedar Avenue.
Officers asked him numerous times to surrender, but
he refused. Officers then sent a police dog, a 4-year-old
Malinois named Ranger, after Murguia. Moments later,
police officers fatally shot Murguia, Cannan said.
Cannan did not know how many officers fired and how
many rounds were used. He said there were about
seven SWAT officers but he did not know who of them
fired. The officers were about 20 to 25 feet away from
the suspect, Cannan said.
During the shootout, Murguia and the dog, Ranger,
were hit. Cannan did not know whether Ranger was
shot by the suspect or by police.Asked if other options
to subdue the suspect were considered, Cannan said
police were forced to respond accordingly.
"In this scenario, deadly force was answered with deadly force," Cannan said.
Ranger was rushed to a Tustin emergency animal care center, where he died in surgery
around 7:30 a.m.
Murguia was on parole for assault with a deadly weapon and making criminal threats,
Ramirez said.
Monday evening, more than 100 friends and family members gathered at the shooting
scene for a memorial service overseen by Father Angel Velandia of St. Jude's Catholic
Church in Huntington Beach.
"I don't know why they had to shoot him when he was stuck under the house like that,"
said friend Jose Alvarez. "They keep talking about the dog, but what about him. He
was a human being. They keep switching the story around and we don't even know if he
really did kill the dog."
One of Agustin's three sisters, Monica, said her brother had been suffering from
leukemia for the past year. She didn't know what prompted him to run from police.
"It just seems like overkill," said another sister, who spoke on condition she not be
identified. "They should have used tear gas or waited it out."
Earlier Monday, as neighbors and bystanders watched police pick up the bullets and
shell casings littering the street, they expressed anger over Murguia's death and the
medical attention paid to the dog.
"They should have took the man to the hospital, not the dog," said Ever De Los Reyes,
a neighbor.
But Murguia was already dead at the scene, Ramirez said.
Lisa Sedilo, who knew Murguia for eight years, said she is trying to raise funds to
help offset funeral expenses. She said Murguia was a lifelong resident who grew up in
the neighborhood.
"He made wrong decisions in life, but he wasn't a bad kid."
Ranger is the first K-9 to be killed in the line of duty since 2001, when Rocco, a
2-year-old patrol dog, broke his back while investigating a possible break-in at the
Museum of Latin American Art.
Since the department initiated its K-9 Division in the late 1970s, at least three
dogs have been killed in the line of duty, including Ranger.
Like all Long Beach police K-9s, Ranger will be laid to rest at the department's K-9
cemetery, a tiny sliver of land located next to the Police Academy in East Long
Beach. For Ranger's partner, 11-year veteran Officer Michael Parcells, the canine's
death is especially hard. Parcells, who grew up in Cypress, is a decorated officer
who has received various awards and has been working with canines for several years.

Very likely another illegal alien import, IMO.

I hope the department gives those brave cops some time off and all
the counseling and other support services they deserve. They muts have
been terribly traumatized by this incident, especially the master of
the police dog the suspect killed.
"In this scenario, deadly force was answered with deadly force," Cannan said.
Any reasonable person realizes that.
Murguia was on parole for assault with a deadly weapon and making criminal threats,
Ramirez said.
Another fine upstanding resident of the USA from where? Mexico? El
Sewerdor?
One of Agustin's three sisters, Monica, said her brother had been suffering from

"It just seems like overkill," said another sister, who spoke on condition she not be

Maybe they should have ordered a few kegs of beer, maybe passed
around some crack, and invited the Laker Girls, too?

Shut the ***** up, *****.
"He made wrong decisions in life, but he wasn't a bad kid."
That's what they said about the Columbine mureders, as well.
Ranger is the first K-9 to be killed in the line of duty since 2001,
May he rest in piece in doggie heaven. (All dogs go to heaven as is
well known.)
Since the department initiated its K-9 Division in the late 1970s, at least three
dogs have been killed in the line of duty, including Ranger.
Ditto.
