Jury Clears Officers in Fatal Shooting at Wrong House

A Mississippi jury has ruled that two police officers were justified in fatally shooting Ismael Lopez in 2017 after mistakenly going to the wrong house to serve a warrant. The civil lawsuit seeking $20 million in compensation was rejected, with the jury determining that the officers had not violated Lopez's civil rights. The case gained attention as the city of Southaven initially argued that Lopez, an undocumented Mexican man, had no civil rights. The officers claimed that Lopez pointed a rifle at them, but lawyers for Lopez disputed this, noting the absence of his fingerprints and DNA on the weapon.
