LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department was ordered to pay $6.5 million after a federal jury found two officers liable in the 2020 shooting of an armed man at a 2020 Black Lives Matter protest.

Two Metro officers were found liable and three others were not.

Protester Jorge Gomez, 25, was shot by police after being spotted with a rifle in the downtown area. Nineteen rounds were fired at him. Only two of the officers were found liable in the lawsuit filed by Gomez’s parents after the district attorney’s office failed to prosecute them.

According to federal court documents, jurors found Metro officer Ryan Fryman, who was a sergeant at the time of the shooting, liable for excessive force and battery claims in Gomez’s death, resulting in $5 million in compensatory damages.

Metro Detective John Squeo was found liable for violating Gomez’s First Amendment rights, resulting in $1.5 million in compensatory damages. However, he was found not liable for excessive force and battery, documents stated.
