A $2.2 Million Settlement Is Reached in a Wrongful Death Lawsuit Against Mississippi Police
A U.S. District judge awarded a massive amount of damages in the wrongful death lawsuit against the Oxford Police Department and a former Oxford police officer who murdered a woman.
Dominique Clayton, a 32-year-old mother of four, was shot and killed by former Oxford police officer Matthew Kinne, on the morning of May 9th, 2019, when Kinne conducted a “welfare check” on Clayton at her home. Kinne shot Clayton in the head with his department-issued firearm.
The former officer pleaded guilty to capital murder and was sentenced to life without parole.
