From [HERE] The mother of a teen shot to death by police in March has dropped three Pasadena police officials from her civil-rights lawsuit against the city.

Kendrec McDade, 19, was killed by two officers who were responding to reports of an armed robbery March 24. Officers Mathew Griffin and Jeff Newlen chased McDade into a dark street in Northwest Pasadena and shot him when his hand was at his waistband, believing he was armed, police said. Investigators later discovered he was not armed and the 911 caller had lied about seeing weapons in order to get a quicker police response.

An autopsy report says he was alive and handcuffed after being struck by a total of seven bullets at close range. At least one bullet was in his back.  The federal lawsuit also alleges McDade was left on the street for a prolonged period of time without receiving first aid. 

McDade also does not fit the profile of the kind of person who would normally commit armed robbery. He has no gang ties or prior arrests, was a star football player in high school, and was a student at Citrus College at the time of his death. [MORE] 

The complaint filed on behalf of McDade’s mother, Anya Slaughter, dismisses Police Chief Phillip Sanchez, Lt. Phlunte Riddle and Det. Keith Gomez.
