MEMORANDUM

Joyce, Richard and Savanna Arruda appeal the district court’s denial of their motion to amend their complaint and its grant of summary judgment in favor of the defendants. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291 . We affirm.

To allege a 42 U.S.C. § 1983 conspiracy claim, a plaintiff must allege “which defendants conspired, how they conspired and how the conspiracy led to a deprivation of [the plaintiffs] constitutional rights.” Harris v. Roderick, 126 F.3d 1189, 1196 (9th Cir.1997). The district court correctly dismissed the § 1983 conspiracy claim plaintiffs asserted in the First Amended Complaint. The plaintiffs failed to allege how the defendants conspired and failed to allege how the conspiracy led to a deprivation of the plaintiffs’ rights. The proposed Second Amended Complaint, which sought only to name two additional defendants, suffered the same deficiencies. Accordingly, the district court correctly denied the plaintiffs’ motion to amend.

As to the grant of summary judgment, we are mindful of the care required when reviewing the record in a deadly force case. As previously noted in an analogous Fourth Amendment case:

Scott v. Henrich, 39 F.3d 912, 915 (9th Cir.1994) (internal citations omitted).

A “seizure occurs even when an unintended person or thing is the object of the detention or taking.” Brower v. County of Inyo, 489 U.S. 593, 596 , 109 S.Ct. 1378 , 103 L.Ed.2d 628 (1989). In the context of a police shooting, the victim is seized if he or she is the object of the officer’s shot; that is, if the officer intentionally targeted the victim. When a police officer mistakes a fellow officer for a suspect, and targets and shoots his fellow officer, he has seized his fellow officer. In such a circumstance, although the fellow officer was an unintended victim of the shooting, he was nevertheless the intended “object” targeted by the shooting officer. See Jensen v. City of Oxnard, 145 F.3d 1078, 1082-83 (9th Cir.1998).

In contrast, a shooting victim struck by an officer’s stray bullet is not seized because the victim was not the “object” the officer intended to strike. See United States v. Lockett, 919 F.2d 585 , 590 n. 4 (9th Cir.1990); Landol-Rivera v. Cruz Cosme, 906 F.2d 791, 795 (1st Cir.1990) (concluding that a passenger in a suspect’s vehicle struck by a bullet that the officer shot at the suspect was not seized).

In the present matter, Deputy Ryan An-gulo was not the only eyewitness to the events resulting in the shooting death of Deputy Michael Arruda. The events were also witnessed by two third-party wit nesses — Patricia Acevedo and Christine Spicer — as well as the two other deputies who confronted the suspect. The physical evidence of the crime scene, as well as the deposition testimony of eyewitnesses — including that of Acevedo — establishes that Deputy Arruda was outside of the motel room, on the walkway, during the gunfire. The suspect, however, remained inside the motel room with, at most, his hand and gun extending through the doorway. As concluded by the district court, none of the evidence places Deputy Arruda in a position permitting an inference that he could be mistaken for the suspect. Thus, the record precludes an inference that a fellow deputy targeted Deputy Arruda as the “object” of his shooting.

Affirmed.

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3. . The parlies are familiar with the facts and procedural history, and we will not recount it.
