SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — The wife and children of a Mexican man shot to death by police in Pasco, Washington, after he threw rocks have filed a federal lawsuit against the city and the three officers involved.

Antonio Zambrano-Montes was unarmed when he was shot to death on a busy street in downtown Pasco on Feb. 10. Videos of the shooting went viral, and the incident sparked weeks of protests in the Eastern Washington city.

Attorney George Trejo Jr., of Yakima, filed the lawsuit Thursday on behalf of Teresa DeJesus Meraz and her two young daughters.

The lawsuit names the city, the Pasco Police Department, the police chief and the three officers involved, among others. It seeks in excess of $25 million in damages.

Franklin County Prosecuting Attorney Shawn Sant did not immediately respond to the lawsuit.
