Isaias Cervantes, a deaf and autistic man who was paralyzed after a 2021 shooting by a sheriff's deputy, was awarded $25 million in a settlement.
Three years after a sheriff's deputy shot an unarmed deaf and autistic man in the living room of his family’s Cudahy home, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors agreed to pay the family a $25-million settlement. Isaias Cervantes was left permanently paralyzed as a result of the March 2021 shooting, which took place a few feet away from his mother, sister, therapist and twin brother, who has cerebral palsy.
On Tuesday, Dove told The Times the claim his client grabbed a gun was “a complete fabrication” and that it would have been virtually impossible for the much smaller Cervantes to snatch the weapon from the deputy’s secure holster. During deposition testimony for the lawsuit, Dove added, Vega admitted that he did not see Cervantes with the gun when he opened fire. After the shooting, Cervantes spent a month in the hospital, where he underwent multiple surgeries.
