Two new lawsuits have been filed in federal and state courts in connection with the “swatting” death of Andrew Finch, killed by Wichita police officers responding to a hoax emergency call at his home two years ago.
The state lawsuit seeks damages in excess of $75,000 on behalf of Finch’s two young children, identified in court documents as AF and DF. It alleges they’re due compensation for the wrongful death of their father.
In the federal suit, Finch’s mother, Lisa Finch, and her boyfriend, Ali Abdelhadi, claim that four Wichita police officers violated their constitutional rights during the follow-up to the shooting. They both seek damages in excess of $75,000. That amount is used as a placeholder for the actual damages that will be sought as the case develops.
