From [HERE] Family members of a Keyes man who was killed in a deputy-involved shooting in April have filed wrongful death claims against Stanislaus County, each seeking tens of millions of dollars in damages. The claims filed Oct. 11 charge that deputy Art Parra Jr. used unreasonable deadly force when he shot George "Jorge" Ramirez after responding to a 911 call to the family's home in Keyes. The family alleges that the deputy and Sheriff's Department did not render medical attention to Ramirez after he was shot.
According to the family, the 32-year-old Ramirez had been suffering from mental health problems. He died at Doctors Medical Center at 5:45 p.m. on April 16, an hour and 10 minutes after the shooting.
In April, sheriff's officials said that Parra responded to the home after a report of a family fight. According to the family's account, detailed in the claims, George Ramirez Sr. attempted to talk with Parra when he responded to the 4:20 p.m. 911 call to explain in more detail what had happened. But Parra did not talk with him about the reasons for the call, the claims said. After the deputy was given Jorge Ramirez's location inside the home, he entered and found Ramirez in the family room, sitting on the couch watching TV. He was not armed, the claims said.
