On May 9th, 2014, at 5:40 AM, the Killeen Police Department conducted a dangerous no-knock raid on the home of Marvin Louis Guy, based on unverified information provided by an unidentified confidential informant. The raid was a disaster from the beginning. The police accidentally detonated a flash-bang grenade and the bullets flew -- 41 rounds in less than a minute. In the resulting chaos, three officers were wounded while a fourth died from a gunshot wound. Marvin Guy was arrested and charged with capital murder. The police found no evidence to substantiate the accusations made against Marvin by the confidential informant.
Since that day in 2014, Marvin Guy has been languishing in jail, awaiting trial inside the Bell County Justice Center.
