Son of scientist fatally shot by law enforcement during confrontation in Little Italy sues city, county [Breaking]
The son of a Yale-trained scientist who was fatally shot by police and sheriff’s deputies inside a Little Italy condo building is suing the city and the county in federal court for wrongful death, citing use of excessive force and other allegations.
The son claims in the suit that Li did not threaten the deputy who had come to serve the eviction notice. He alleges that when his mother doubted that the deputy was a law enforcement officer, and suggested he might be an intruder, it indicated “that she was experiencing a mental crisis,” and law enforcement officers should have recognized that.The complaint states that Li had a history of mental illness but does not further specify any diagnosis.
The suit sets forth 11 claims, including unlawful detention, excessive force, inadequate training, false arrest or imprisonment and negligence against the defendants. It does not specify a monetary amount the son is seeking if a judge or jury decides in his favor.
He repeats the order. Li shouts back for him to put his gun down. “How could I know you are not intruder?” she asks him. She yells, “Call the police!” They enter. She runs from the bedroom and stabs one of them at her door. Police and deputies open fire, striking her.
