    On December 31, 2022, Officer Conner Thompson was involved in the fatal shooting of Brandon Lynch, a 27-year-old man experiencing a mental health crisis. Lynch’s family filed a federal lawsuit alleging that Officer Thompson used excessive force and escalated the situation unnecessarily. The lawsuit claims that Officer Thompson and other officers were aware of Lynch’s mental health issues and failed to de-escalate the encounter, leading to Lynch’s death. The case highlights concerns about the department’s handling of individuals with mental health conditions.
