In the Atlanta suburb of Smyrna three Mexican undocumented aliens shared an apartment not far from Cobb Parkway, a major six-lane road running through the area. A warrant for the arrest of one of them for a fight he had gotten into the night before at a local taqueria was going to be served on him. But when the police deputy came to the apartment, the other two fled out the back patio. The deputy took chase of the two men demanding they stop. When they refused, he shot two shots hitting both men, one in the back of the leg and the other in his shoulder. The man hit in his leg sustained a breach of his femoral artery causing an enormous amount of blood to be lost.
The officer called in backup to secure the area at the apartment complex and also told the property manager to bring in a crime scene cleanup crew to remove the blood, tissue, other refuse and sanitize the area. The crime scene cleanup company which specialized in homicide scene clean ups, suicide scene clean ups, meth lab clean ups, odor removal clean ups and death scene clean ups, not to mention staph infection scene clean ups, certainly had the expertise to put the complex back in to the condition it was in prior to the shootings.
The next day, other than the reports on the local news channels, there was no evidence that the shootings had occurred thanks to the good work of the crime scene clean up company. The two Mexican men were in the hospital awaiting transport back to Mexico by the INS. The deputy had to deal with an internal investigation to see if his firing was justified (it was) and the person to whom the warrant was addressed, moved to a new address eluding the grasp of the police and the county’s criminal justice system.
