(CN) - A New York man says ABC News accidentally used his photo to identify him as Kenneth Minor, the man who was convicted of murdering motivational speaker Jeffrey Locker.
     In February and March 2011, Cloves Roche claims WABC Channel 7 Eyewitness News ran his picture while a news broadcaster indentified him as Minor. At press time, the clip misidentifying Roche is still available on the ABC news website.
     The picture ABC ran is the same one used in a 2009 story by the New York Daily News reporting that police were looking for Cloves Roche in connection with the shooting death of a 17-year-old boy over a television set.
     Minor was convicted in April of murdering motivational speaker Jeffrey Locker. He was sentenced to 20 years to life in prison for stabbing Locker to death in his car.
     Minor maintained that it was a case of assisted suicide and said Locker paid him to make it look like a murder so Locker's family could collect $14 million in life insurance.
     The complaint, filed in Queens County Supreme Court, demands unspecified damages from ABC Inc., ABC Interactive Inc. and The Walt Disney Company.
     Roche is represented by Estrin, Benn & Lane in New York.
