Lawsuit Aims to Pressure Curbs on Deadly Force
Lawyers for the family of Mexican national Eusebio de Haro Espinosa say a federal wrongful death suit against Samuel Blackwood seeks to deter deadly force. The case, filed in Del Rio, accuses Blackwood of shooting de Haro as they traveled in Kinney County on May 13. The suit seeks millions in damages for de Haro’s estate, parents, and their one year old daughter, alleging the shooting was motivated by ethnicity and undocumented status.
