Maryland prosecutors have ruled out charges against the police involved in the slaying of Duncan Socrates Lemp, the so-called Boogaloo martyr, whose family said he was asleep alongside his pregnant girlfriend when SWAT officers opened fire outside the house.
The family s version of events directly contradicts the Montgomery County Police Department, which said Lemp confronted officers with a rifle during a no-knock raid at the family home at 4:30 a.m. on March 12.
Howard County State’s Attorney Rich Gibson Jr. told Lemp’s family Thursday that the use of deadly force was justified, Rene Sandler, a lawyer for the relatives, told the Associated Press.

COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) - Maryland prosecutors have ruled out criminal charges against any police officers in the shooting death of a man whose family says he was sleeping in his bed next to his girlfriend when police opened fire, an attorney for the family said Thursday.
Howard County State’s Attorney Rich Gibson Jr. informed the parents and girlfriend of 21-year-old Duncan Socrates Lemp of the decision during a meeting conducted remotely, family attorney Rene Sandler told The Associated Press.
Gibson’s office concluded that police in neighboring Montgomery County were justified in using deadly force against Lemp, Sandler said. Members of a tactical unit were serving a no-knock search warrant at the Lemp family’s home about 4:30 a.m. on March 12 when an officer fatally shot him.
