Mississippi cop shoots & kills man while serving warrant at wrong house

‘The family of a man fatally shot by a Southaven police officer dispute the police claim that the man was pointing a gun at law enforcement. Officers had been attempting to serve an arrest warrant at the wrong house.
Ismael Lopez, 41, and his wife, Claudia Linares, were asleep when they were woken by Southaven Police Department cruisers parked in front of their house on Sunday around 11:30pm. Linares told WMC that Lopez went to answer the door when she heard three shots fired. By the time she got to Lopez, he was already dead.
At a press conference Monday, District Attorney John Champion told WMC the officers were attempting to serve a warrant to Samuel Pearman for aggravated domestic violence, and it was “very possible that the officers were at the wrong address.”
According to an arrest warrant obtained by WREG, the officers were sent to 5878 Surrey Lane, but ended up across the street at 5881 Surrey Lane.’
