The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors approved a $25 million settlement Tuesday for a hearing- and mentally impaired man who sued the county and two sheriff’s deputies, alleging he was left paralyzed when he was shot by a deputy in 2021 at his Cudahy home.
“It is about this larger systemic change,” attorney Austin Dove told reporters. “… This action, regardless of what you say about the settlement, they cut their losses in this one. Because this family has been devastated beyond belief. And so going forward, we’re hoping that this A) sends a message to the sheriff’s department about how you’re going to address these issues, and B) lets the county know that we’re watching you.
Cervantes’ mother, Rosa Padilla, is his court-appointed conservator. Born prematurely, Cervantes was diagnosed at age 3 with a hearing impairment and a year later was found to have a speech impairment, obsessive compulsive disorder, social anxiety and other intellectual disabilities, according to his lawyers’ court papers.
Two deputies approached the home and asked Cervantes to come outside with them, but when he declined, they entered the home and attempted to detain him with handcuffs, according to the department. An LASD video then shows Cervantes fighting with the deputies, with both body cameras falling to the floor.
