The family of a teenager fatally shot in the back by police has sued Georgia county, where he was killed, for $150 million. The 17-year-old’s mother said of the wrongful death lawsuit at a news conference Thursday: “I am the proud mother of Vincent Demario Truitt.” She described how her son asked officers, “Why did you shoot me?” and said, ” To this day, his question has yet to be answered.” Truitt was allegedly driving in a stolen vehicle when police stopped him and two other teenagers in July 2020, and officials said Truitt had a gun. A firearm was seized at the crime scene. Truitt’s family attorney called his death “unjustifiable.” A grand jury declined to charge the officer involved with a crime.
