On June 29, 2017, Officer McGrath participated in a shooting incident where he fired at least seven shots into a vehicle occupied by Marta Sanchez, Stephanie Lopez, and Dominic Martinez without giving a warning and without being in imminent danger. This resulted in severe injuries to the occupants, including the death of Stephanie Lopez. A civil rights lawsuit was filed against Officer McGrath and other officers involved, alleging excessive force and constitutional violations. The case raised questions about the department’s use-of-force policies and officer training. ([casetext.com](https://casetext.com/case/sanchez-v-city-of-littleton?utm_source=openai))
