The mother of an African American man who was shot and killed by a white police officer in Charlotte, North Carolina, last year has filed a federal wrongful death lawsuit
Danquirs FranklinDeborah Franklin is suing the city government and officer Wende Kerl, who shot Danquirs Franklin on March 25, 2019. Deborah Franklin is seeking unspecified compensatory and punitive damages for her son's loss of life and the loss of financial and emotional support for his three children. The shooting caused several days of street protests in Charlotte after police body camera video was released.
The lawsuit says Kerl and the other officer repeatedly and loudly ordered Franklin to"drop the weapon" - doing so more than 20 times in less than 30 seconds, according to the lawsuit. Kerl's body cam video shows Danquirs Franklin slowly bringing the gun out of his clothing, holding the top of the weapon by his thumb and forefinger, with the barrel pointed toward him and the handgrip coming into view first, the lawsuit says.
