(KMOV) - The family of a man shot to death in his home by Ste. Genevieve police is filing a wrongful death lawsuit.

Police say last November Dennis Heberlie, 47, caused a disturbance at a gas station, then drove off.

 

Officers followed him to his home then apparently got into a scuffle with Heberlie and later shot him.

 

Heberlie's family says he was schizophrenic and unarmed.

 

Two officers are named in the suit.
