As it is known
"This is the situation as it is known," Rotella wrote. "He intentionally fired five shots from a handgun into the residence ... where one of the gunshots struck Derek King in the chest area, causing his death."
The shooting surprised police, because the fatal bullet was apparently fired blindly, passing all the way through the house -- through the carport wall, the living room wall, the living room, the dining room, and out the back door -- before killing King. The man apparently finished his cigarette and stepped into the doorway and the flying bullet hit him in the chest.
It was unclear, initially, if the drive-by shooting was random, or if unit H-4 at Dahlridge Apartments was actually targeted. Within two weeks, though, detectives had wanted posters out on Nelson Carlos Guajardo, describing the suspected murderer as a 230-pound, six-foot, Hispanic man "known to frequent areas with adult entertainment establishments."

Man indicted in connection with 'fight-night' killing
It has taken almost a year and a half to finally get in indicted. I am Derek's wife and I am asking that anyone who may know of this man whereabouts to please help the police bring him to justice. I am pleading for help so that my family and I can get some closure on my husband's unnecessary death.
ReplyDeletei believe that they where all in the drug deal business, so i really dont think is that of a tragic or unnecesary death.
ReplyDeleteThis is Derek's wife and apparently you didn't know my husband to make such accusations. Learn the facts before you start posting things about some one. So since you didn't do your homework let me give you a bit of insight on the man that you are trying to slander. My husband was a GOD fearing man. He was a hardworking man trying to better himself and be a good role model for his child. He was one of those rare black men that try to do the right thing and people like you try to put him down. But he had a strong black woman by his side encouraging and walking with him every step of the way. Oh yes he was also a veteran so yes he was a soldier that fought to keep this country free so that people like you can continue to spit out your negativity to the world. So the next time you decide to speak up on something learn about the person before you open your mouth because it just showing how you would rather believe something bad things over anything good. And be bold and sign your name don't stay "Anonymous"
DeleteNot only that, but Derek did'nt caught the bullet inside or out the patio door, it was clearly a self-defense case and clayton county police knows it, they just made a big deal cause the victim was son of a federal agent, and Det. Rotella is a lying pig, same as the CSI investigator, Derek clearly was out front in the carport when shot, Police helped cover the truth, check the bullet holes on the wall, there is one missing, , its a damn shame how police cover they own shit.but Derek did'nt caught the bullet inside or out the patio door, it was clearly a self-defense case and clayton county police knows it, they just made a big deal cause the victim was son of a federal agent, and Det.

ReplyDeleteAnd you apparently didn't really don't know what happened because you would know that he was not outside when it happened and no it wasn't self defense. You people just need something to vent about but don't use my husband's murder for your sounding block. And get your facts right no my husband was not the son of a federal agent (LMBO). That just showing me that you chose to believe what you heard. I'm going to tell you the same as anyone else who keeps assuming they know about my husband. Do your homework, learn the facts and then write about the case. My husband was a victim of a man being mad and deciding to use a gun to release his stress. And if you have problems with the Clayton County law enforcement deal with them don't put my husband's case in the middle of it. And if you bothered to speak with Nelson now he will tell you that he did shoot through the wall and no one was outside trying to attack or shoot at him. Get the facts!
DeleteI'm Derek's wife and since you are so smart and able to examine this case so thoroughly where is the information about how Nelson changed his story on the stand several times? And the jury never did conclude that Nelson didn't commit a crime. The only thing I have noticed in this comment is that you have a problem with the "Clayton County Justice System" So deal with them and stop taking excerpts from this case to try make your case against them. My husband was a victim he didn't even really know Nelson that was the second time he had had any interactions with Nelson and even Nelson himself said that he didn't mean to shoot Derek. So find another outlet to show your dislike for "Clayton County Justice System" because you only stated what you wanted people to see and not the case as a whole.
Delete"As it is known", victim finished smoking a cigarette and walked inside the back patio door when struck" ,Det. Rottella said that?? , yeah right!, look what he said during trial, transcript page #294, D.A.- Did You noticed any large amounts of blood in the house? , Rotella- I beleive outside in the carport area a pack of cigarettes, a very small amount of blood.
