Christopher Newman – St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Office

Written by CBKN76

Deputy Christopher Newman was involved in the fatal shooting of Gregory Hill Jr. on January 14, 2014. Deputies responded to a noise complaint, and during the encounter, Newman shot Hill through his garage door. A federal civil rights lawsuit was filed by Hill’s family, alleging wrongful death. In July 2022, a jury cleared the Sheriff’s Department and Deputy Newman of any civil wrongdoing in connection with the shooting.

Why This Matters

By organizing this data, we can potentially demonstrate when officers were previously aware of laws they later claim ignorance of, challenging qualified immunity defenses and promoting accountability.
