The lawsuit accuses the city of wrongful death, assault/battery, unconstitutional policy, retaliation, unlawful seizure, and unlawful use of force.

The city released the audio and transcripts to refute these claims and defend the police chief's character. Supporters of Dallas have been calling for the release of body-worn video footage, which has not yet been made public. The family is seeking $36 million in damages.
