In brief:
61-year-old reclusive millionaire Donald P. Scott of Malibu had a ranch that the Los Angeles County Sherrif's Department wanted to seize and forfeit for the local government. They messed up, though, and didn't plant the drugs that they'd intended to plant and upon which the search warrant was based. In October of 1992, a 32-man assault team raided his ranch and shot him dead in front of his wife. No drugs, not even the ones that were supposed to have been planted as phony evidence, were found.

A later official report found: "It is the District Attorney's opinion that the Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department was motivated, at least in part, by a desire to seize and forfeit the ranch for the government. Based in part upon the possibility of forfeiture, Spencer obtained a search warrant that was not supported by probable cause. This search warrant became Donald Scott's death warrant."
