A nine-month rookie officer shot and killed the naked Coates after Coates had "charged" him from behind an electric utility box. The officer had responded to reports of an armed man under the influence of drugs who'd fired six shots in a townhouse, frightening his girlfriend and one-month-old son. In 2008, the family was awarded $90,000.
