A wanted parolee with past gang affiliations was shot and killed by a police task force Friday in Salinas after firing a shot and pointing two guns at an officer, a police spokesman said today. Juan Louis Acuna, 30, of Salinas, was shot multiple times after he raised the guns as members of a 10-officer task force tried to take him in, Salinas police Cmdr. Vincent Maiorana said. Acuna had been wanted for failing to meet with his state parole officer and based on his background as a convict with gang enhancements was considered an absconded parolee at large and dangerous, Maiorana said.
