Oklahoma City, OK - A federal jury sided in favor of an Oklahoma City Police Officer, saying the Fourth Amendment was not violated.

The decision comes after an Oklahoma City family was searching for accountability six years after their then-teenager was shot by Oklahoma City Police Sergeant Kyle Holcomb.

The Fourth Amendment protects people from unreasonable searches and seizures.

According to court records on March 10, 2019, Lorenzo Clerkley, who was 14 at the time, and his friends had BB guns inside an abandoned house, shooting at random objects.

Police responded to the area after a caller reported someone broke into the home.

Clerkley's family filed an excessive force lawsuit over an officer-involved shooting that occurred, but on Monday, the jury ruled in favor of Sergeant Kyle Holcomb.
