Fort Worth officers came with a "no knock" warrant after undercover cocaine buys at the home last year. They wanted surprise in case anyone inside was armed.
There were several people in the little house on Thannisch Avenue, including children. Jermaine Darden, 34, was kneeling on a couch, and may have been sleeping.
