ARVADA, CO : Family of pregnant woman killed by police files lawsuit on Thursday, 17th August 2023

Destinee Thompson wasn’t the robbery suspect Arvada police were looking for when she was shot dead on Aug. 17, 2021.

Now her family has filed a wrongful death and excessive force lawsuit against five Arvada officers, as the mother of three was shot and killed as she drove away from police.

“I can’t explain how much I miss her. I think about her every day,” said her father, Francis Thompson, who still doesn’t understand why his 7-month pregnant daughter was shot while driving away from police.

“There was no threat. It doesn’t make sense why they pulled their weapon,” Thompson said.
