Unnamed Officers – Nevada County Sheriff’s Office

Written by CBKN76

In 2023, the Estate of Gabriel Strickland filed a lawsuit against Nevada County and its officers following the fatal shooting of Strickland, who was carrying a plastic, airsoft replica gun. The officers involved believed Strickland posed an immediate threat and used lethal force when he pointed the replica gun at them. The court concluded that the officers’ mistaken belief was reasonable under the circumstances, and the use of deadly force was justified. The lawsuit was dismissed, affirming the officers’ actions as objectively reasonable. [Source: Estate of Strickland v. Nevada County, 2023]
