Description
The family of a man who was shot and killed by an Indianapolis Metro Police officer in 2023 is suing the city and the officer who killed him.
Darcel Edwards was shot on Oct. 24, 2023, in the 2500 block of Columbia Avenue, near East 25th Street and Dr. Andrew J. Brown Avenue.
His family is suing the city and the officer who killed him for alleged excessive force, wrongful death and tampering with evidence.
In the lawsuit, lawyers for the family say Edwards was shot in the back and was not a threat to the officers.
They also say that within days of the deadly shooting, the tree Edwards was in had been chopped down. The lawsuit calls this tampering with evidence.
