The homeowner said police caused thousands of dollars in damages, but an independent report found that officers followed best practices and did not break any laws.
A homeowner says officers tore apart her home while searching for a murder suspect who had visited but did not live there.
The raid happened on the morning of Jan. 22. Erika Rios said she and her kids were awakened by wooden pellets in their doors and police saying, "Come out with your hands up!" Hours later, the family would learn that police were looking for Cameron Vargas, a family friend who was identified as a possible murder suspect. Vargas, a teenager living around the corner from Rios, would later turn himself in.
According to the Galveston Daily News, charges were later dropped against Vargas because a witness falsely identified him.
