Ohio detective dies after being shot twice in face during drug raid
2019-11-08
[FOX] An Ohio detective who was shot twice in the face while serving a drug-related warrant on Monday has died, police said Thursday.

"We are heartbroken to announce the passing of Det. Jorge Del Rio who succumbed to a line of duty injury today," the Dayton Police Department tweeted.

"Earlier today at Grandview Hospital, Det. Del Rio acted to save lives through the generous gift of organ donation."

Del Rio, a 30-year veteran of the department, was shot while working with a Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) task force, Police Chief Richard Biehl had said.

Cash, fentanyl and marijuana, along with three weapons each containing a 30-round magazine, were recovered from the scene, investigators said.

The suspected shooter, Nathan Goddard, 39, was charged with felonious assault on an agent, according to U.S. Attorney Dave DeVillers.

Cahke Cortner, 39, and Lionel Combs III, 40, were charged with conspiring to distribute drugs, according to an affidavit. Courtney Allen, 34, also was in custody in connection to the shooting, the station said.

The DEA’s Dayton office reportedly conducted an investigation on a Dayton fentanyl operation between July and October, which led them to believe Goddard was a supplier. Police were conducting a search warrant on the suspected home Monday when Del Rio was shot, they said.

#1  Dayton, OH is a hub for drug and human trafficking. It is on the I-70-75 corridor. RIP Det. Del Rio; thanks for your service.
