City of Gainesville dismissed from lawsuit over deadly police shooting, but suit continues against officers

This screen grab is taken from former Gainesville police officer Jonathan Fowler's bodycam footage on Sept. 20, 2019, approximately two seconds before officers opened fire on Adam English. The original footage is dark, so this image has been color-corrected to lighten it to allow a better view of what officers saw. The red streak is a lens flare.

A federal judge this month dismissed the city from the suit filed in U.S. District Court that alleged the man’s civil rights were violated, but the suit will go forward against two of the city’s officers.
