The Las Vegas Police Protective Association filed a lawsuit this month on behalf of an officer who was fired for shooting a man in the head.
Shootings
Officers were initially called after a report that a man was attempting to break into parked vehicles. He ran off when officers arrived, police wrote in the statement.
The man was shot once Wednesday by North Las Vegas police after running away from a fight, according to a department spokesman.
The suspect had a record dating back to 2009 when he was arrested for violating a temporary protective order, and multiple felony drug charges were dismissed in 2016 and 2017.
The boy, whose name was not released because he was charged as a juvenile, pleaded guilty last month to one count of aiming a firearm at another human being.
