A federal jury awarded $13.5 million to the family of a man who died days after two Los Angeles police officers used their bodyweight on his back to restrain him, the plaintiff's attorneys said Monday.
Cedillo's daughter, Nicole Juarez Zelaya, sued the city in 2020 for civil rights violations, inadequate training and other allegations.Friday's verdict included a finding that the city "failed to train its police officers with respect to the risks of positional and restraint asphyxia," Zelaya's lawyers said in a statement. Attorney Dale K. Galipo said he hoped such verdicts will cause police to take notice.
It showed officers approaching Cedillo and cuffing him while he sat in the driveway of a gas station in Van Nuys. Galipo said officers took Cedillo to the ground and began getting on top of him for about 4 minutes and 20 seconds.
