(AP) — The mother of a 25-year-old Black man who was fatally shot by police is suing the officers involved, the Mississippi Capitol Police and the Mississippi Department of Public Safety, among others.
Arkela Lewis’ son, Jaylen Lewis, was shot by Capitol Police during a traffic stop on Sept. 25, 2022.
Two officers involved, Stephen Frederick and Michael Rhinewalt, were indicted for manslaughter in March.
According to the lawsuit, Frederick, Rhinewalt and other Capitol Police officers were conducting a drug operation when they pulled Lewis over.
“The Mississippi Department of Public Safety is aware of the lawsuit and does not comment on pending litigation,” Bailey Martin, a spokesperson for the department, wrote in a statement.
