A man fatally shot in a no-knock raid last week had sold crack to an undercover officer days before SWAT officers entered his apartment, according to court documents.
Nathan Aguillard, 26, was shot to death Friday when Denver SWAT officers executed a warrant at his apartment, 4754 Peoria St., and he confronted them with a gun, police said.
Police found three handguns, a baggie with white powder believed to be a drug, numerous boxes of ammunition, drug paraphernalia and money — including a $50 counterfeit bill, according to Sonny Jackson, Denver police spokesman, and court documents unsealed Thursday.
Based on his review of Friday’s shooting, Denver Police Chief Gerry Whitman said SWAT Officers Ronald Fox and Thomas McKibben, who shot Aguillard, acted appropriately, given the circumstances.
Family members of Aguillard have hired Denver lawyer Craig Skinner to review police actions in the shooting.
