CLEVELAND -- Dillard's department store is facing a multimillion-dollar lawsuit following the death of a suspected shoplifter.
NewsChannel5 reported that Guy Wills (pictured, right), 41, died in November after being slammed to the ground by Officer Jameel Talley, who was working as a security guard at the Dillard's at Randall Park Mall.
Wills' family is now suing both Talley and Dillard's for $100 million, saying both were responsible.
A jury convicted Talley earlier this month. His sentencing is set for next month.
