A father is suing for wrongful death after his 10-month-old child was killed in an execution-style shooting that took five other lives in a California farming town earlier this year.
that took five other lives in a California farming town earlier this year. The complaint, filed Friday on behalf of Shayne Maupin and seen by The Daily Beast, accuses seven officers with the Tulare County Sheriff’s Office and four social workers with Tulare County Child Welfare Services of negligent actions that resulted in the death of his son, Nycholas Parraz.
The lawsuit alleges that, while returning Nycholas to his mother’s care that November, county social workers failed to properly assess the household she was living in, which had “active gang members” inside it at the time. Two months later, when sheriff’s deputies conducted a warrant check at the house, they “failed to investigate” the risk of gang violence threatening both Parraz and Nycholas, according to the lawsuit. Parraz was also killed in the Jan. 16 shooting.
