Wrongful Death
Back To Snippet
Back To SITEMAP
Leisa E. Young, mother of Providence Police Sgt.
Cornel Young Jr., killed last year by fellow officers who mistook
him for a suspect, recently filed a $20 million lawsuit against
the city of Providence, RI.
"I can't bring my son back," she said. "And
I can't live with myself if I do nothing about it and it happens
to somebody else." Represented by Atty. Johnnie Cochran, she
also seeks unspecified punitive damages from the officers, their
supervisors, the police department and the city.
In the incident (JET, May 8, 2000), Sgt. Young was
off-duty when he was shot and killed by officers responding to a
report of trouble.
