Jordan Edwards's Family Sues the Officer Accused of Killing Him
A lawsuit accuses Roy Oliver, who was fired last week, of using excessive and deadly force on the job in the April shooting of the Texas teen.
The family of Jordan Edwards, the 15-year-old high-school student who was fatally shot last month, is suing the city of Balch Springs, Texas, its local police department, and the man held responsible for the shooting, former Balch Springs police officer Roy Oliver. The lawsuit, filed Friday at Federal District Court in Dallas, alleges that Oliver used excessive and deadly force on the job, and that the department failed to properly train the officer and ignored his aggressive behavior.
