Lawsuit Filed by Family of Activist Killed in Alleged Police Shooting

The family of Michael Reinoehl, an anti-fascist activist killed by police in 2020, has filed a lawsuit alleging that his civil rights were violated when officers shot him outside an apartment complex without identifying themselves. The family seeks compensation for Reinoehl's pain and suffering, as well as emotional injury to his children. Witnesses and law enforcement offered conflicting accounts of the incident, and the circumstances surrounding Reinoehl's killing have raised questions. Former President Donald Trump praised Reinoehl's death, and a prosecutor chose not to file criminal charges against the officers involved.
