The family of a teenager who was fatally shot in the back by police have sued the Georgia county where was killed for $150 million. The 17-year-old’s mother said at a Thursday press conference about the wrongful death suit, “I am the proud mother of Vincent Demario Truitt.
” She described how her son asked officers, “‘Why did you shoot me?’” and said, “To this day, his question has yet to be answered.” Truitt was allegedly riding in a stolen vehicle when police stopped him and two other teens in July 2020, and officers said Truitt had a gun. A firearm was recovered from the scene. Truitt’s family attorney called his death “unjustifiable.” A grand jury declined to charged the officer involved with a crime.
