In 2015, Officer Frank was involved in a fatal shooting of Michael Laniado, a man suffering from a psychiatric crisis. The incident escalated into a four-hour standoff, ending with Laniado being shot multiple times by several officers, including Officer Frank. A lawsuit alleged that the officers lacked proper training in handling individuals with mental illnesses and failed to de-escalate the situation. The outcome of the lawsuit is not specified in the available information.
