Michael Brown’s Family Sues Ferguson for Wrongful Death

HeadlineApr 24, 2015

The family of Michael Brown has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the city of Ferguson, Missouri, over the fatal shooting of their 18-year-old son by police officer Darren Wilson. While Wilson avoided both criminal and federal civil rights charges over the shooting, Brown family attorney Anthony Gray said the lawsuit could present new evidence.

Anthony Gray: “The evidence has not changed, but the presentation of that evidence will. We expect to put on evidence that you’ve never heard about before and never seen.”
