The family of a man fatally shot by a police officer in Silver Spring in 2018 sued Montgomery County more than a year ago, arguing that the officer could have de-escalated the situation, knowing that the man had a disability.
Since last summer, there has been no movement in the case.
Officer Anand Badgujar fatally shot 41-year-old Robert White in June 2018 following a confrontation in White’s neighborhood.
Badgujar has said he thought White was armed because he reached into his pocket. The officer also thought that White might be trying to intentionally provoke him in a “suicide-by-cop” scenario.
