Jose Guerena was a U.S. Marine veteran who served in the Iraq War and who was killed in his Tucson, Arizona home on May 5, 2011 by the Pima County Sheriff's Department SWAT team. Deputies were executing a warrant to search Guerena's home while investigating a case involving marijuana being smuggled into the U.S. from Mexico. In September 2013, the four police agencies involved agreed to pay Guerena's wife and children $3.4 million as a settlement, without admitting wrongdoing in their killing of Guerena.
