The sons of a man who was fatally shot by sheriff's deputies after he stabbed an elderly woman are suing L.A. County and two deputies for wrongful death, alleging in federal court that the use of deadly force was 'excessive and unreasonable.'
The sons of a man who was fatally shot by sheriff's deputies after he stabbed an elderly woman are suing Los Angeles County and two deputies Monday for wrongful death, alleging in federal court that the use of deadly force was "excessive and unreasonable.''
The lawsuit, filed on behalf of Carlos Towns and his 17-year-old brother, contends that deputies watched as Towns walked into a residential area toward unsuspecting civilians. "I just feel like my dad ... it don't matter what he was going through or whatever, he shouldn't have got what happened to him," said Carlos Towns during a press conference on Monday.
"My kids' hearts today are immensely broken because he was a good father," said Barsha Knox, a family member of Towns. "He deserves his day in court like anybody else."
