Family of Detroit man shot by bailiff files $150 million lawsuit

The situation happened in July 2024, when Sherman Butler was being evicted from his apartment near Palmer Park but was then found holding a box cutter to his neck telling the officers they were going to have to kill him, saying he was not going to leave. Police would call for a crisis intervention team.  Now two years later, Butler's mother, Velma Wafer, is remembering her son.
