MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Years after a deadly police shooting in Hickory Hill, a Memphis mom is suing the officer involved.
In a lawsuit obtained by WREG, Mary Stewart asks for more than $17 million in damages after her son Darrius Stewart was shot and killed during a traffic stop back in 2015.
Connor Schilling, the former police officer who pulled the trigger, said he shot the 19-year-old in self defense.
Video from that night shows the two men struggling on the ground before the shots were fired.
