From [HERE] The family of a Latino man shot dead by an L.A. County sheriff's deputy has filed a $5 million wrongful death lawsuit against the department. The family says surveillance video shows that Jonathan Cuevas posed no threat during the 2010 incident. Video shows a squad car pulling up next to three men walking along the street. A deputy flashes a light at them. As he exited the car Cuevas, 20, started running and the deputy shot at him.

"He fires six shots running towards Jonathan, and the seventh shot he stands over Jonathan and shoots him right through the torso, as a coup de grace kill shot," said James Segall-Gutierrez, an attorney for the Cuevas family. Police claim he was unarmed but according to Cuevas' attorney there were no fingerprints on the alleged weapon. The attorney also says the police have given inconsistent descriptions of the gun. 

"Was he armed? Yes. Is the whole story being told now? No. Let's not forget who has already investigated this: Internal Affairs, Office of Independent Review monitoring that. Homicide Bureau. The District Attorney," said Sheriff's Spokesman Steve Whitmore.
