The family of a Philadelphia man is suing two police officers who fatally shot him last year The family of Walter Wallace Jr. is suing two police officers who fatally shot him in West Philadelphia last year. Wallace, a 27-year-old Black man, was shot and killed by police while holding a knife on October 26. His family had said he had bipolar disorder and was experiencing a mental health crisis at the time. The officers were not equipped with less-lethal options, like Tasers, to use in such situations. The lawsuit, filed Wednesday, alleges officers Sean Matarazzo and Thomas Munz used unreasonable force when they shot Wallace outside of his family’s home, less than a minute after arriving on the scene.
