Reuters reports the owner of a Louisiana convenience store in front of which Alton Sterling was killed by police sued the city of Baton Rouge and members of its police force on Monday. Triple S Food Mart owner Abdullah Muflahi claims he was illegally detained and that police took his surveillance video after the shooting. Muflahi said in the lawsuit that Baton Rouge officers locked him in the back of a police vehicle for about four hours after he witnessed the July 5th shooting of Sterling. According to the lawsuit, immediately afterward police seized the store's security system without a warrant and took Muflahi into custody.
