Father To File Lawsuit After Son’s Death
The father of a sixteen-year-old boy who was recently killed by a police officer is planning to sue the city. It turns out that the young boy, Jerrod Miller, was shot by a rookie officer who had completed training only weeks before the incident took place. The officer pulled the boy over at Delray Full Service Center campus, after he started driving erratically.The officer, Darren Cogoni, had asked the young man to show his driving license as he drove across the campus. As the young driver did not have a license, he must have panicked and simply drove off in an erratic way, despite many people being in the path of the vehicle that he was driving.
The police officer has stated that the reason he fired was to protect the people that were in the path of the car, which was being driven dangerously by Miller. A county judge, however, has suggested that the officer be charged with manslaughter for the death of the young man.
The father of the dead boy, Kenneth Miller, is said to have written to the city demanding increased supervision for rookies, and improved training in deadly force among other things. It is not yet clear how much Mr. Miller will be suing for in damages.
