Chicago police officer who fatally shot a 19-year-old is suing the deceased teen's estate ...

• Business Insider

Rialmo is seeking more than $180,000 worth of damages.

On December 26, Rialmo shot and killed 19-year-old Quintonio LeGrier.

Rialmo fired eight shots after he claimed LeGrier swung a baseball bat at his head multiple times, the Chicago Tribune reported.

Of the eight bullets fired, one hit and killed LeGrier's 55-year-old neighbor, Bettie Jones, who was standing behind LeGrier at the time. Police have ruled that death accidental.

"Rialmo reasonably believed that if he did not use deadly force against LeGrier, that LeGrier would kill him," the lawsuit stated.
