The death of Alejandro "Alex" Nieto occurred on March 21, 2014 in the Bernal Heights neighborhood of San Francisco, California.
Nieto was shot by four San Francisco Police Department officers before a night shift at work.
A confrontation between Nieto and another civilian led to a bystander calling 911.
Nieto was wearing a taser.
Police allege that Nieto pointed the taser at them.
The responding police officers also claim to have believed that the taser was a firearm.The San Francisco County District Attorney's Office declined to file criminal charges against the four officers involved in the shooting.
Nieto's family filed a federal civil rights lawsuit, alleging wrongful death.
In March 2016, a jury cleared the four officers of all charges.
