U.S. District Judge P. Kevin Castel of the Southern District of New York denied Monday an attempt to have a jury’s verdict of excessive force against a New York City Police Department detective overturned or, in the alternative, for a new trial over the September 2012 shooting death of Mohamed Bah.

In November 2017, a Manhattan jury found six of the responding officers involved in the fatal shooting of Bah not liable for his death. However, Det. Edwin Mateo was found to have violated federal excessive force and state law battery claims. The commanding officer, Lt. Michael Licitra, was found to have violated federal and state failure-to-supervise claims. The jury awarded Bah’s estate compensatory damages of more than $2.2 million, putting the city on the hook.
