Police claim teen shot himself in the head while his hands were cuffed behind his back
 

Durham, NC Police are claiming that a 17-year-old riding in a police cruiser last month committed suicide by shooting himself in the head while his hands were cuffed behind his back.

Durham’s police chief says that Jesus Huerta, the 17-year-old who died in police custody last month, shot himself in the head after he had been searched, handcuffed and placed in the back of a patrol car.

<div>Michael Taylor, 1987 ... I remember a city in fear of what was next, and yet there was no next. ... Wondering? Today would there be a higher likelihood of next? It was reported he was frisked before being placed in the cruiser.

No way of knowing what really happened.

Back in the day my dad worked on the ambulance service in Moundsville WV. The ambulance was part of the funeral home...sort of double duty kind of thing. They got a call out to an apparent suicide on the out skirts of town and when they arrived they found a man with two shots to the back of the head. My dad commented that there was no way it could have been self inflicted and was quickly told to shut up! The police chief told him it was a suicide, the medical examiner guy told my dad not to worry about it...no one like the victim any way!!
