SAPD officers Richard Serna and Devin Day are accused of excessive force, unlawful arrest, malicious prosecution, defamation and violent physical assault in Mathias Ometu's lawsuit.

The lawsuit was moved to federal court, and in August 2022, Chief U.S. District Judge Orlando Garcia ruled that Ometu could not pursue punitive damages against the city. Garcia allowed the rest of the case to move forward, meaning Ometu can still seek compensatory damages. The judge also dismissed SAPD Chief William McManus from the case in his official capacity as chief of police.
A filing by the city on the same day states that Ometu had not sent a settlement offer, but it too agreed to mediation, as did Serna and Day. According to the scheduling order, mediation must be complete by the end of June.
