"No Charges for New Mexico Officers in Fatal Wrong Address Shooting"
TL;DR
The New Mexico Justice Department has declined to press charges against three Farmington police officers who fatally shot Robert Dotson, 52, after mistakenly going to the wrong address on a domestic violence-related call. The officers approached the incorrect dwelling, and when Dotson opened the door armed with a gun, he was shot. The decision not to file charges has prompted a lawsuit from Dotson's family, alleging wrongful death and seeking damages.
