A federal jury in Mississippi has rejected a civil lawsuit seeking money damages from two police officers who fatally shot a man while serving a warrant at the wrong house.
A judge rejected that argument in 2020, finding constitutional rights apply to “all persons.”
According to a report by the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation, Lopez and Linares were in bed on July 24, 2017,on the door of their trailer. The officers were intending to serve a domestic violence warrant on a neighbor across the street, but got the addresses confused. A third officer on the scene told investigators he heard Durden order Lopez to drop the rifle several times before shooting Lopez.The 41-year-old man died from a bullet that struck him in the rear of his skull, more than six feet from the door. Police said he was running away.
When state investigators arrived, they found Lopez lying dead in a prone position with his hands cuffed behind his back in the middle of the living room. A rifle was laying on the couch.Southaven Mayor Darren Musselwhite, in a statement, again offered condolences to the family of Lopez, but praised the outcome.
