Gaines’ Estate Files Lawsuit Against Baltimore County

MANY QUESTIONS. RAMONE COLEMAN WAS AN APARTMENT AWAY FROM THE ARMED STANDOFF BALTIMORE COUNTY OFFICERS LAST MONTH. IT STARTED WHEN POLICE KICKED IN GAINES’ DOOR TO SERVE WARRANTS. POLICE, COLEMAN SAYS, TOOK OVER HIS APARTMENT NEXT DOOR, TO MONITOR THE STANDOFF. ON CAMERA, HIS COMMENTS ABOUT THE INCIDENT WERE BRIEF. X SHOULD HAVE USED BETTER TACTICS TO GET HER OUT OF THE APARTMENT. NO ONE SHOULD DIE LIKE THAT. JAYNE: OFF CAMERA, COLEMAN TOLD US, AN HOUR INTO THE STANDOFF HE HEARD GAINES SAY YOU PUT YOURS DOWN, I’LL PUT MINE DOWN, ON APPARENT REFERENCE TO THE SHOTGUN SHE HAD. HOURS LATER COLEMAN TOLD US HE HEARD A POLICE OFFICER SAY, I’M SICK OF THIS PUT THE GUN , DOWN. FOLLOWED SECONDS LATER OF THE OF SHOTS BEING FIRED. RUBY, FIRED WHEN GAINES THREATNED POLICE WITH HER LAWYERS FOR GAINES FAMILY DISAGREE. HE WAS IN FEAR SHE POSED A THREAT TO HIM OR OTHER OFFICERS. THEY HAD BEEN WITH MS GAINES FOR APPROXIMATELY SEVEN HOURS. FRUSTRATION. AND THAT IS NOT A LEGITIMATE BASIS FOR SHOOTING AND KILLING AN INDIVIDUAL. MOTHER AND OTHER RELATIVES SUED BALTIMORE COUNTY. ONE CLAIM — POLICE DID NOT LAWFULLY ENTER THE APARTMENT BECAUSE THEY HAD NO FIRM EVIDENCE SHE WAS INSIDE. >> WHEN THEY TOOK THAT KEY AND CRACKED THE THRESHOLD OF THAT DOORWAY SO THEY COULD PEER THAT WAS A SEARCH IT WAS AN UNLAWFUL SEARCH. >> THE NARRATIVE GIVEN OUT BY THE GOVERNMENT MAKES IT SEEMS LIKE SHE WAS TRASH. AND IT’S NOT FACTUAL. JAYNE: GAINES’ BOYFRIEND LEFT THE APARTMENT WHEN POLICE ENTERED. SAID, TALKING ONLY OF THE DEATH OF GAINES INSTEAD. PEOPLE WHO GET PAID TO SERVE AND PROTECT US CAN TAKE HER LI THAT WAY AND NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS. JAYNE: THE OFFICE OF COUNT EXECUTIVE KEVIN CABINETS SAID IT WOULD NOT COMMENT ON THE LAWSUIT AS IT IS PENDING LITIGATION. GAINES LAWYERS ALWAYS SAID TODAY POLICE WERE TO SHUIT DOWN GAINES
