The family of Dijon Kizzee, a 29-year-old Black man who was shot 16 times and killed by Los Angeles County Sheriff's deputies last summer, has filed a $35 million claim for damages.
The claim alleges the sheriff's department failed to properly train the involved deputies and accuses them of using unreasonable deadly force. The move is a largely procedural one that must be made before a lawsuit can be filed. Family attorney Carl Douglas said he expects the claim to be rejected.
