The parents of Konoa Wilson, a 16-year-old shot dead by San Diego police officer Daniel Gold II, have filed a lawsuit claiming the officer used excessive force. The parents allege Gold shot their son without warning just moments after he fled from an armed individual on the trolley platform. They argue this violated Wilson's civil rights under the Fourth and 14th Amendments. The lawsuit seeks punitive damages, while the shooting is under investigation, and Officer Gold remains on the department's payroll but not in the field.
