Jacob Blake’s family on Thursday filed a lawsuit against Kenosha police officer Rusten Sheskey for the August 2020 shooting that triggered protests and riots.

The federal civil rights suit, filed in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Washington, claims that Sheskey used excessive and deadly force without cause of justification, in violation of the U.S. Constitution’s Fourth Amendment.
