A man who was shot and killed at the casino owned by the
Santa Ynez Band of Chumash
Indians had been banned from the property in southern California, according to the local sheriff.
Jose Guido was known to security at the
Chumash Casino Resort, the
Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Office said in a press release. He was confronted in a parking structure at the facility in the early morning hours of February 20 and told to leave.
That's when he grabbed a taser that a casino security investigator was carrying and used it against the investigator, the sheriff said.
"The Chumash Security Investigator subsequently shot Guido three times, causing fatal injuries," the sheriff said.
The sheriff completed an investigation and has forwarded the case to the Santa Barbara County District Attorney’s Office. It is not known if anyone will face charges in connection with the incident.
