FARMINGTON, NEW MEXICO: The family of Robert Dotson, who was shot and killed by police after they arrived at the wrong house, are reportedly filing a lawsuit against the department. Bodycam footage released by Farmington Police showed the harrowing moment officers fatally shot Dotson, 52, on April 5 after mistakenly approaching the wrong house to respond to a domestic violence call. Shortly after, the cops were also seen firing at Dotson's screaming wife Kim. In the video, three officers could be seen knocking at the door of a house while discussing a potential confusion about arriving at the wrong address.
