Update

It seems that now the FBI is involved and checking out the case. Here is what we know

• The warrant was requested by one agent, Ofc Goines.
• Ofc Goines lied about his sources.
• Ofc Steven Bryant who claimed he "witnessed" the original drug buy came clean and said he got the drugs from Goines's car.
• There was no handgun recovered, as detailed in the original allegation.

While HPD intended to raid that house, it seems now that the raid was illegal and conducted prematurely.

While potentially not the right house, the police chief addressed this doubling down (predictably),

"I promise you, we were at the right house," said Acevedo.

 

Acevedo commented that the investigation is on-going. He said he's aware of "conspiracy theorists" that have speculated that the officers raided the wrong home, but says they are incorrect.

 

"There's a lot of conspiracy theories out there. People are running rampant. Let me just say this, 'We never run away from the truth,'" said Acevedo.

It seems at least now they're arguing they intended to raid this specific house.
