The family of a 54-year-old black man fatally shot by a white officer is suing the officer and the city of South Bend, Indiana, where Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg (BOO�-tuh-juhj) is mayor.

Eric Logan�s relatives filed the lawsuit Wednesday in federal court. It accuses Sgt. Ryan O�Neill of using excessive deadly force when he shot Logan on June 16. The lawsuit also names the city of South Bend as a defendant but does not name Buttigieg.

Prosecutors say O�Neill was responding to a report of a person breaking into cars when he confronted Logan. O�Neill said he shot Logan after he refused orders to drop a knife. The shooting wasn�t recorded because O�Neill didn�t turn his body camera on.

A spokeswoman said the city doesn�t comment on pending lawsuits.
