    LA County pays nearly $10M to family of Compton man killed by sheriff’s deputies

    L.A. County will pay $9.6 million to the family of Samuel Herrera Jr., a man fatally shot by sheriff’s deputies in Compton in 2020, to settle a wrongful death lawsuit. The family alleges Herrera was unarmed, targeted due to his Mexican-American heritage, and that deputies were part of a law enforcement gang, though investigations found deputies acted within the law.
