7 California officers, nurse charged in 2020 in custody death of suspected DUI driver - KTLA5 - 2023

Seven California Highway Patrol officers and a registered nurse are being charged with involuntary manslaughter in the death of an alleged DUI driver in Altadena nearly three years ago, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office announced Wednesday. Officers Dionisio Fiorella, 39, Michael Little, 57, Dustin Osmanson, 41, Darren Parsons, 48, Diego Romero, 35, Justin Silva, 30, and Marciel Terry, 32, as well as RN Arbi Baghalian, 42, were also charged with one count of assault in the death of Edward Bronstein. On March 31, 2020, Osmanson and Terry pulled over Bronstein along the 5 Freeway in Burbank on suspicion of driving under the influence, prosecutors said. The officers took Bronstein, 38, to a CHP maintenance yard in Altadena and obtained a warrant to draw his blood. Bronstein had meth, marijuana and alcohol in his system, and his cause of death was listed as “acute methamphetamine intoxication during restraint by law enforcement,” according to the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner’s Office. Luis Carrillo, an attorney for Bronstein’s family, said his death was caused by suffocation while being held down. The incident was caught on video, which was released nearly two years after Bronstein’s death. “The state of California did not want us to release this video,” Carrillo said at the time. “Thank God that the judge agreed with us and that’s why you’re going to have this video. It’s horrible, but justice must be done.”
