The family alleges that deputies left 35-year-old Raymundo Rivera trapped in a pillar to die, after initially being led to believe his death was accidental.
Claims emerged after a former deputy's ex-girlfriend's lawsuit, suggesting he boasted about Rivera's death while indicating a culture of misconduct within the department.
The lawsuit addresses how law enforcement gangs operate within the Sheriff's Department, creating a code of silence that protects deputies engaged in unlawful behavior.
By accusing the department of fostering a culture of lawlessness, the suit raises serious concerns about accountability and transparency within the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
