The Wichita City Council in Kansas has accepted the Finch family’s $5 million settlement request, with the city council paying $2 million and the remaining $3 million in insurance. The deceased is alive with his wife and two children.
In 2017, police received a call about a gunman who allegedly killed his father and held his mother, brother and sister hostage at home. When the police arrived, they found the unarmed 28-year-old Andrew Finch at the address indicated, and he was shot dead for disobeying orders.
It turns out that Finch was accidentally killed – police arrived at his address due to an argument between two Call of Duty players named Casey Weiner and Shane Gaskill. Allegedly, Gaskill gave his address and called Weiner to “fix it” because of the match he lost and the $1.5 bet. Weiner, with the help of his friend Tyler Barris, who trades in “swotting” (miscalls for strike teams), decided to teach Gaskill a lesson by sending police to the indicated address. So the police came to Finch, who has nothing to do with gamers.
In 2019, a court sentenced “switter” Tyler Barris to 20 years in prison. He admitted to making false allegations since 2015. Casey Weiner was sentenced to 15 months in prison and a $2,500 fine and banned from playing online games for two years.
