Family Files Legal Claims in Inglewood Custody Death Investigation

The move seeks answers during an open coroner review of how he died.

Overview

  • The family filed the required government claims against the City of Inglewood, a first step toward a planned lawsuit over Bryan Bostic’s death.
  • New bystander video shows Bostic face-down with an officer on his back and another holding what appears to be a stun gun as more officers pull his hands behind him.
  • Separate probes by the Inglewood Police Department and the Los Angeles County District Attorney are underway, and officials say records the family seeks fall within those active reviews.
  • The county Medical Examiner recorded that Bostic died at a law enforcement agency, and the office deferred the cause of death pending more tests and lab work.
  • Inglewood’s mayor said paramedics examined Bostic at the scene and cleared him for booking, and officers then found him unresponsive when they reached the police station.
