Killing of Mohamed Bah

On September 25, 2012, Mohamed Bah, a 28-year-old Guinean national, was fatally shot eight times inside his Harlem apartment by New York City police officers.
The incident prompted the Bah family to file a $70 million civil lawsuit against New York City. The lawsuit demanded the city implement changes in the way police deal with people suffering from a mental illness.
In 2017, the Bah family settled in court for $2.21 million. The officers were found to have used unnecessary force but did not face charges.
