Family of Jalin Seabron Files Wrongful-Death Lawsuit Over Douglas County Deputy’s Shooting

The filing challenges a prior decision that deemed the deputy’s use of force legally justified.

Overview

  • The estate filed the complaint in Douglas County Court near the one-year mark of the Feb. 8, 2025 shooting, seeking a jury trial and damages.
  • Body-camera, dashcam, and security video show Deputy Nicholas Moore issuing commands and firing nine rounds within seconds of arriving.
  • Attorneys for Seabron’s family contend the footage shows his back was turned with his handgun pointed down and that the deputy did not identify himself.
  • District Attorney George Brauchler announced on April 8, 2025 that the shooting was justified under Colorado law, yet the civil case moves forward independently.
  • Deputies had responded to reports of shots inside The Main Event, where a separate bathroom shooting led to arrests; the sheriff’s office declined comment on the lawsuit and no court date has been set.
