Rosa Calva was shot by an officer on May 23, 2020, in an encounter in which she said police used excessive force and failed to de-escalate
The city of San Diego will pay $325,000 to settle a lawsuit filed on behalf of a mentally ill woman who was shot by an officer and bitten by a police dog in her studio apartment in East Village in 2020. Rosa Calva's lawsuit accused the San Diego Police Department of failing to de-escalate the encounter and using excessive force. The payout, which the City Council approved Tuesday, will settle the case in federal court.
Calva was armed with a steak knife, and an officer struggled to restrain her. That's when another officer, Andres Ruiz, shot her multiple times in the chest and abdomen at close range, and a police dog clamped down on her arm, according to the video. McBride said officers did the 'exact opposite' of de-escalation. 'In doing so, they created a situation where their use of deadly force was all but certain,' he said. 'Thankfully, Ms. Calva survived the shooting.
