Example Sentences
The King County Prosecutor’s Office said Officer Noah Zech, 40, was justified in firing a single round from his patrol rifle, striking Shaun Fuhr in the back of the head as Fuhr fled through a construction site in the 4100 block of 37th Avenue South after police responded to a report of domestic violence and child abduction.
The city’s civilian-run Office of Police Accountability previously found Zech’s actions fell within the department’s policies.
The office also dismissed complaints of biased policing — Zech is white and Fuhr was Black — and failure to de-escalate the situation before resorting to deadly force.
A federal civil-rights lawsuit from Fuhr’s family is pending against the city and Zech in U.S.
It alleges Zech shot Fuhr “without investigation or de-escalation, by consciously disregarding the fact that Fuhr was clearly, visibly unarmed because he was holding his infant daughter, and Zech made these conscious choices because Shaun Fuhr is African American.”
