# Jury selection begins today in the civil trial over the 2021 fatal police shooting of former South African rugby player Lindani Myeni in the capital of the US island of Hawaii, Honolulu. The city rejected a 26-million-rand settlement sought by Myeni’s widow, Lindsay, who alleges racial discrimination and excessive force. Prosecutors previously ruled the officers’ actions justified, with no charges filed. The civil case now seeks damages and punitive relief after a cancelled city council vote to settle out of court.
