Jurors decided officers used unreasonable force in using a stun gun and a chokehold to detain Fermin Vincent Valenzuela, who died from complications of asphyxia after the 2016 incident.
A jury has awarded more than $13 million to the children of a man who died after a confrontation with Anaheim police in 2016, deciding that officers used unreasonable force and were negligent.
Fermin Vincent Valenzuela, 32, died from complications of asphyxia caused by the July 2, 2016, fight with two police officers. The officers used a stun gun and a chokehold to subdue Valenzuela, saying he was violent, under the influence of methamphetamine and had tried to flee.
Valenzuela became unresponsive and paramedics took him to a hospital, where he had three heart attacks. Eight days later, family members decided to remove him from life support after he was declared brain-dead, said Garo Mardirossian, an attorney representing Valenzuela’s children.
