Kyle Smith – Las Vegas Police Department

Written by CBKN76

In March 2019, Officer Kyle Smith was involved in the death of Roy Anthony Scott, a 65-year-old man with paranoid schizophrenia. Scott called 911 to report suspicious individuals, but no one was found. During the encounter, officers handcuffed Scott and restrained him on the ground. Scott became unresponsive and later died. His family filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the department and Smith, alleging excessive force and failure to provide timely medical assistance.

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.
