Two players were involved in an argument during the last part of 2017, in which one of them falsely reported an armed attack on the other player, which was followed by the special police arriving at the door of the other player.
As a consequence, the second player did not provide his address, but another player's. As a result, the 28-year-old, who was knocked at the door by the police, died in the incident. Many were shocked by this news and could not believe that such things were really possible.

The family of a man who was fatally shot in 2019 filed a lawsuit against the police officer who shot him. In the midst of a five-year court battle, IGN reports that the case has now been finally settled after nearly five years in court.

In order to settle the case, Justin Rapp, a police officer who was involved in the killing of a 28-year-old man, agreed to pay a five million dollar damages amount to the family of the man, and the family decided to accept that amount.
