Description
Attorneys for Clark County were in court on Wednesday afternoon, pushing for a case to be dismissed. It involves a deputy who fatally shot a 30-year-old man on Feb. 4, 2021.
A panel of prosecutors reviewed the case to see if criminal charges were warranted, and found the deputy was justified in his use of force.
Family members of Jenoah Donald filed a wrongful death lawsuit. Attorneys for Donald’s family said Donald was unarmed when he was pulled over by Deputy Sean Boyle for a defective taillight and loud exhaust and that Boyle told him to step out of the car.
"Jenoah is on the autism spectrum, and so he didn't immediately respond to the deputy's commands, and the deputy without further conversation punches him in the face and breaks his nose,” said attorney Mark Lindquist, who added that deputy should have de-escalated the situation.
