A lawsuit has been filed against the Los Angeles Police Department that claims they failed to investigate a 1986 murder since the prime suspect was another police officer. The suit, filed by the family of the victim, claims that the officer had confronted and threatened the victim multiple times before she was killed. During the investigation the police officer was never questioned. Recently, however, the case was reopened and the police office was arrested based on DNA evidence. The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages.
