One year after an Akron Police officer fatally shot a 15-year-old boy, his family filed a lawsuit against the city.
Jazmir Tucker was shot and killed last Thanksgiving while officers say they were investigating the sound of gunfire.

Officer Devon Fields shot Tucker after encountering him, saying he saw Tucker with a gun. A gun was found in Tucker's clothing, zipped up in a pocket.
Earlier this fall, a special grand jury chose not to indict Fields.

The lawsuit alleges unconstitutional use of force and municipal liability for training and oversight failures, among other claims.
In addition to the city, the complaint also names Fields, several other members of the Akron Police Department and Akron Mayor Shammas Malik.
Tucker's family is expected to hold a press conference Tuesday to discuss the lawsuit.
News 5 has reached out to the city for comment and is waiting for a response.
