The family of Mona Rodriguez, an 18-year-old woman fatally shot by a Long Beach Unified School District safety officer, announced that they've reached a $13 million settlement of their lawsuit against the district.
Unified School District safety officer while she was sitting in a car announced Tuesday that they've reached a $13 million settlement of their lawsuit against the district.
Rodriguez's mother, Manuela Sahagun, sued Gonzalez and the LBUSD in December 2021 alleging wrongful death, excessive force, negligence and civil rights violations. "I personally don't really care about the settlement. It's not bringing back my sister," Rodriguez's brother, Omar, said Tuesday. "I don't want anybody else to go through this pain."The district issued a statement saying that while settlement talks have been under way, "we have not seen or ratified and agreement," and thus could not discuss details.
Then-Long Beach Police Chief Robert Luna -- now Los Angeles County sheriff -- said at the time that Rodriguez was sitting in the front passenger seat of the car, and as the driver tried to pull away from the scene, Gonzalez fired his weapon. According to court testimony, one bullet went through the rear passenger window, with the other striking just below the handle of the rear passenger door.
