Written by On November 5, 2016, Corporal Lyons participated in the fatal shooting of Mr. Elswick during an attempted arrest. Officers were responding to a report that Elswick had fired a gun into a neighbor’s trailer. After a prolonged standoff, officers attempted to enter Elswick’s home, during which Corporal Lyons fired his weapon, resulting in Elswick’s death. A lawsuit alleged excessive force, but the court granted summary judgment in favor of the officers, finding their actions objectively reasonable under the circumstances.
