$30 million claim filed by family of man shot and killed by police outside Southwest Precinct

A $30 million claim has been filed by the family of Andrew Seay, a 36-year-old man shot and killed by police outside the Southwest Precinct in March 2025. The claim alleges that police officers used excessive force and violated the Americans with Disabilities Act, among other causes of action. The shooting occurred after Seay was encountered in the precinct parking lot while in crisis, and the law firm representing his family says his death could have been prevented with alternative methods. The city has two months to consider the claim.
