The family of Justine Damond is suing the city of Minneapolis and other key figures for more than $50 million in damages after she was shot and killed by a police officer last year.
The lawsuit was filed Monday. In it, Damond's father, John Ruszczyk, claims the defendants committed acts and omissions that violated the 4th and 14th Amendments, which deal with unreasonable searches and seizures and depriving people of life, liberty or property.
The family is seeking damages in excess of $50 million from named defendants former Minneapolis police officer Mohamed Noor, officer Matthew Harrity, former Minneapolis Police Chief Janee Harteau, current Police Chief Medaria Arradondo, and the city of Minneapolis, according to the complaint.
Harteau, Arradondo, and attorneys for Noor and Harrity did not immediately respond to ABC News' request for comment.
"I plan to win the case," Robert Bennett, the family’s lawyer, told ABC News via email.
