A sleeping Horton was asked to leave the lobby of a building by two security guards, one of which was an off-duty policeman. Officers alleged that Horton attacked them after leaving the building and urinating on a vehicle, and the off-duty policeman shot Horton after a short scuffle. Horton's brother filed a lawsuit against the city in August 2014, claiming the officers were overzealous in their conduct. The shooting is still under investigation by Chicago's Independent Police Review Authority.
