L.A. County to Pay $9.6 Million to the Family of a Compton Man Killed by Deputies

  • Los Angeles County has agreed to pay $9.6 million to settle a wrongful-death lawsuit brought by the family of Samuel Herrera Jr., a 41-year-old Compton man fatally shot by sheriff's deputies during a 2020 search-warrant operation — a large payout the county approved without admitting wrongdoing, even as its own lawyers' account of the shooting differed sharply from the family's.
