A clerk at a Florida GameStop store is facing a manslaughter charge after police say he fatally shot a man who was trying to steal Pokemon cards.PEMBROKE PINES, Fla. — A GameStop clerk who police say fatally shot a fleeing shoplifter has been charged with manslaughter.
Derrick Guerrero, 33, was working at the video game retailer’s store in a suburban Fort Lauderdale strip mall Tuesday night when a man grabbed five boxes of Pokemon Scarlet & Violet “ultra-premium” trading cards and ran toward the door, Pembroke Pines police said in a report released Wednesday. The cards retail for $120 a box.Guerrero pulled a handgun from his waistband and fired one shot, hitting the man in the side, police said.
Police said store security cameras show the shoplifter never threatened Guerrero nor displayed any weapons. The man’s name has not been released. Florida, under its “stand your ground” law, lets someone use deadly force if there is a threat of death or great bodily harm to themselves or others, but it does not allow it simply to protect property. Manslaughter is a killing that is unplanned and in the heat of the moment.
Guerrero was being held at the Broward County Jail on $25,000 bail. Jail records do not show if he has an attorney.64-Year-Old Fatally Shot Woman She Thought Was 'Involved' With Boyfriend, Police SayBy entering your email and clicking Sign Up, you're agreeing to let us send you customized marketing messages about us and our advertising partners.
