Martin Figueroa, 27, was killed on May 20, 2014, at his mother’s home in Fresno after police responded to a call from his sister about erratic behavior. Officers Robert Alvarez and Mikal Clement confronted Martin; police say he threatened them with a steak knife. He was shot four times—once in the armpit and three times in the back—and was also bitten by a police K9.

Martin’s family filed a civil rights and wrongful death suit against the City of Fresno and the officers, alleging excessive force, wrongful death, negligence, battery, and negligent infliction of emotional distress. Plaintiffs argued deadly force and the K9 deployment were unnecessary; the defense said the officers acted in self-defense.

City of Fresno to proceed to a jury trial. Does anyone have more information about Martin’s final hours or witnesses present at the scene?
