ROCKFORD — An investigation into the fatal shooting of 27-year-old Faustin Guetigo by a Winnebago County Sheriff's Department deputy will help State's Attorney J. Hanley determine if the shooting was legal.
But it will not delve into questions about whether the actions deputies took April 10 as they confronted Guetigo at his Bellwort Drive residence were right or wrong, in accordance with policy or best practices, or if those policies are appropriate or should be changed.
Those questions could be part of an internal review that will commence only after the Winnebago-Boone County Integrity Task Force completes its investigation into the shooting, County Board Chairman Joe Chiarelli said.
