Kyle Rittenhouse is being sued by the estate of Joseph Rosenbaum, one of the men whom Rittenhouse shot in self-defense.
The estate filed the lawsuit on Friday, coinciding with the third anniversary of the death of Rosenbaum, 36, in Kenosha, Wisc., during protests sparked after police shot a black man, Jacob Blake.

In addition to Rittenhouse, the lawsuit also names multiple Kenosha officials, county sheriff’s agencies and several cities and counties in the area. The lawsuit includes 15 claims, including that the defendants violated the constitutionally protected rights of Rosenbaum and the other protesters and that the defendants “intentionally or recklessly caused severe emotional distress,” among other things.
