Family awarded $51.8M verdict in son's fatal shooting by San Bernardino deputies, attorneys say
The mother of a man who was fatally shot by San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department deputies in 2023 was awarded a verdict of $51.8 million Thursday, her attorneys said. The mother of Antonio Garza, Jr., who was fatally shot by San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department deputies in 2023, has been awarded $51.8 million in damages. This is believed to be the largest verdict in a police shooting case in California history and the third-highest nationwide. The family alleges that Garza's history of mental illness was known to the SBCSD and that he was shot a dozen times, including at least twice in the back and once when he was lying on the ground. A federal jury found the sheriff's department and two deputies liable on all counts and awarded the Garza family $51 million in total damages.
