Judge dismisses lawsuit filed against SLC police by family of man shot and killed in 2020
The family of Bernardo Palacios filed the civil lawsuit in Sept. 2020, months after he was killed while running away from officers who were responding to the report of an armed robbery.
After originally reviewing the shooting, Salt Lake District Attorney Sim Gill and the Salt Lake City Civilian Review Board ruled the use of deadly force by police was justified. During an investigation, an SLCPD captain said officers gave multiple verbal commands for him to stop, show his hands and to"drop the gun." One officer said over the radio that Palacios had a gun in his pocket and was reaching toward his waistband during the chase. Gill said police body cam video showed Palacios stopping to pick up a gun after dropping it on the floor three times.
