LOS ANGELES — A $100 million wrongful-death claim has been filed against the city over the fatal shooting by police of an actor holding a fake gun.

Anthony Dwain Lee, 39, was shot in the back at a Halloween party on Oct. 28.

The claim says the city, the police department and the two officers present at the shooting are responsible for the killing, although only Officer Tarriel Hopper fired his weapon.

The victim's sister, Tina Vogt, filed the claim Monday. If it is rejected by the city, the family can file a wrongful-death lawsuit.

The shooting occurred after the two officers went to the party because of a noise complaint.

Police said Hopper shot Lee when the actor turned suddenly and pointed a realistic-looking fake gun at him. But medical examiners concluded Lee was shot from behind.

A police spokesman declined to comment on specifics in the claim.

Lee appeared on TV shows such as "ER" and "NYPD Blue" and had a small role in the 1997 Jim Carrey movie "Liar Liar."
