Attorneys for the family of a man killed by police and a man shot by officers during the same incident have filed claims to sue the city of Green Bay.

The family of Ben Sonnenberg filed a claim Thursday, shortly after Cesar Grijalva-Ortiz and family filed theirs.

Sonnenberg, 25, was shot 11 times and killed during a traffic stop on April 21 outside of Studio 720, 720 Bodart St. Grijalva-Ortiz, 31, was shot accidentally while inside the club.

Neither claim specifies the amount of damages.
