“The wife of a Belleville man who was shot two dozen times by police and killed in his family’s apartment after a domestic dispute in July plans to file a multimillion-dollar wrongful death suit against the town’s police department, according to court papers. Belleville police used excessive force and violated Dante Cespedes’ civil rights when they opened fire inside the family’s apartment on July 9, according to a notice of claim filed in Superior Court in Newark last week. Prosecutors have said Cespedes lunged at the officers with knives.”
