Overview

• Wilson’s parents filed the lawsuit on June 5 in San Diego Superior Court, alleging violations of his civil rights under the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments and state law.
• It alleges Officer Daniel Gold fired two shots without warning at Wilson as he fled gunfire at the Santa Fe Depot on Jan. 28, striking him in the torso.
• Surveillance and body-camera footage show Wilson running from another shooter and collapsing after being shot; no evidence indicates he fired his concealed handgun.
• Police arrested the juvenile alleged to have initially fired on Wilson on Feb. 6, and Lt. Travis Easter says Gold, a two-year department veteran, is off field duty pending the ongoing investigation.
• The complaint holds the city and Gold liable for excessive force under SDPD policy and seeks unspecified punitive damages.
