Eric Briceno died after a violent struggle with sheriff's deputies in Maywood in 2020. His family said he was having mental health issues. Now, the county approved a settlement payment for the family, but the family says they're still seeking justice.
She said when deputies arrived, everything was calm and her son was sleeping, but deputies insisted on going into the house."They beat him up just like, worse than an animal. They killed him, and I saw all of that, so I see that image in my mind. I can't take it away," said Blanca Briceno.
According to the coroner's report, Eric Briceno died of cardiopulmonary arrest due to neck compression and restraint with a Taser."Quite frankly, when I reviewed the agenda, I was astonished that we have continued to see high settlement amounts that stem from one department, and that's the sheriff's department," said Los Angeles County Supervisor Holly Mitchell.
Eyewitness News contacted the sheriff's department, but it wouldn't comment, citing pending litigation. Meanwhile, the the Briceno family said this is just the beginning. They said they will continue to fight to get charges filed against the deputies involved in this incident.Copyright © 2022 KABC Television, LLC. All rights reserved.
