The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors approved the settlement in a shooting that stemmed from a workplace dispute at a county fire station
Officials with the Los Angeles County Fire Department knew firefighter Jonathan Tatone was targeting a colleague. They did little about the harassment. Then Tatone struck.On June 1, 2021, Tatone, who was off-duty, drove to the station and fatally shot 44-year-old Carlon. Fellow firefighters heard Tatone say: “Payback’s a bitch, motherf—!”When Sandoval stepped outside to investigate the noise, Tatone shot him, too.
Carlon and Tatone worked different shifts. But when one relieved the other, they were expected to provide a shift “pass down,” detailing what their work day had entailed. Tatone complained that Carlon didn’t finish work that needed to get done on the engines, leaving him to complete the jobs. A station captain later told investigators that Carlon had voiced concerns about Tatone, including that his harasser would one day shoot and kill him.
