Video shows events leading up to death of inmate at LA County jail - ABC 7 - 07/29/2019

The family of a man who died at a Los Angeles County jail nearly two years ago is speaking out after video released shows the events leading up to his death. "I'm here because I'm looking for justice for my son Juan Correa," Maria Correa told a roomful of reporters. Along with their lawyers, Luis Carrillo and Michael Carrillo, Maria and Juan Correa Sr. talked about their wrongful death lawsuit against Los Angeles County and the sheriff's department. They presented a video that the L.A. County Sheriff's Department provided them on what happened the day their son, Juan Correa Jr., died in sheriff's custody at the Twin Towers Correctional Facility. According to the family lawyers, within an hour, the video shows Correa was pronounced dead in the jail shower. "After Juan, their son, is pepper sprayed, they don't attend to his medical needs," family attorney Michael Carrillo says. "He clearly can't hold himself up while he's sitting. He can't stand, he can't breathe. When they throw him in the shower they're yelling at him, they're pointing at him." The incident happened in September of 2017.
