Jury awards $19M to bystanders wounded by Denver cop in 2022 shooting
Aurora City, Colo. council member Danielle Jurinsky outlines how Denver’s migrant crisis has spilled over into the suburb and unleashed violent criminal activity.
Six bystanders injured during a 2022 police shooting in Denver will share nearly $20 million in damages after a jury ruled in their favor, their attorneys announced on Friday.
The $19.7 million award stems from a civil lawsuit filed against the Denver Police Department over the July 17, 2022, shooting.
Officer Brandon Ramos earlier pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault, receiving probation and losing his certification to serve as a police officer.
Ramos resigned in February 2024, according to a Denver Police spokesperson, who declined to comment on the verdict.

At the time of the shooting, Ramos was assigned to a gun violence prevention team that patrolled Denver’s Lower Downtown neighborhood – home to Coors Field and a nightlife corridor – when he and two fellow officers opened fire on a man, later identified as Jordan Waddy, after he had drawn a handgun.
