Jury Weighs Former Denver Cop’s Liability For Wounding 6 Bystanders In LoDo Shooting

After more than three years of painful recovery and an eight-day jury trial, six bystanders are wounded during a 2022 police shooting in downtown Denver are hoping hoping for some relief.
They were worried about the little things, like getting nervous around girls,”the plaintiffs’ attorney Omeed Azmoudeh told jurors in Denver District Court on Thursday during closing arguments in the civil case. “And then, in a moment: bang, bang, bang, bang.”
In the early hours of July 17, 2022, the lively night atmosphere in Lower  Downtown was shattered by gunshots as
three Denver Police Department officers fired on 23-year-old Jordan Waddy, who they suspected had been involved involved in a fight near the Larimer Beer Hall.
The officers — Brandon Ramos, Kenneth Rowland, and Megan Lieberson —shot  Waddy as he pulled out a gun hidden in his waistband. While Rowland and Lieberson shot the man from the front, Ramos fired from the side,toward the crowd behind Waddy.
By the time Ramos fired, Waddy had already been shot by other officers and fallen to the ground, Azmoudeh said. Six bystanders in the crowd were injured that night, either by bullets flying or shrapnel,  Azmoudeh said. Ramos’ “reckless and unreasonable” conduct constitutes battery on all six victims, he added.
