No-knocks no more in Killeen
The Killeen City Council voted Tuesday to approve an ordinance banning the Killeen Police Department from using or participating in no-knock warrants.
The decision was made by a 6-1 vote, with Councilman Steve Harris voting against.
Two people have died in Killeen no-knock raids, which sometimes include broken glass, explosives to blow off doors, and a lot of guns â mostly in the hands of police, but sometimes in the hands of the residents inside.
Marvin Guy, 56, is in Bell County Jail, accused of fatally shooting KPD Detective Charles âChuckâ Dinwiddie during a pre-dawn no-knock narcotics raid on Guyâs west Killeen residence. Dinwiddie and three other officers were shot on May 9, 2014, and Dinwiddie died in a hospital two days later.
