A Father’s Day gathering in Syracuse, New York, ended in violence on June 19, 2016, when 41-year-old Gary Porter, also known as Terry Maddox, was shot and killed by Syracuse Police Officer Kelsey Francimone. Officer Francimone discharged her weapon during what has been described as a riot at the event.

A grand jury reviewed the shooting and declined to indict Officer Francimone on criminal charges. Porter's family then filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against the officer. At trial, a federal jury found that Francimone violated Porter’s constitutional rights by shooting him in the back, but also concluded she reasonably believed Porter was armed and posed a threat. The jury awarded $10,000 in damages to Porter’s family.

The judge retained the question of qualified immunity, meaning the award might ultimately be reduced or not enforced depending on the court’s ruling. Did anyone at that Father’s Day event see what led up to the shooting or know Porter’s movements that day?
