How they died
Deadly force
Wilson, mother of six, was shot to death by a member of the Lima Police Department during a SWAT team drug raid. Wilson was compliant with officers, unarmed, and was holding her 1-year-old son, whose left index finger was also shot off. The officer testified he felt in danger of his life when he heard gunshots; those shots came from other officers in the house killing the family's dog. Ultimately the city settled with the family for $2.5M.
