LA sheriff's deputies accused of harassing relatives of people killed by deputies
A new report released this week claims that deputies with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department (LASD) regularly targeted relatives of several individuals who were fatally shot by members of the agency.
The 37-page report from the National Lawyers Guild Los Angeles, ACLU of Southern California and other groups lists instances of alleged harassment against relatives of two men: Paul Rea and Anthony Vargas.
Rea, 18, died in 2019 after being shot multiple times by an East Los Angeles LASD deputy. Anthony Vargas, 21, was fatally shot by two other deputies from the same station in 2018.
The report, which was also presented by groups like Black Lives Matter Los Angeles and the Check the Sheriff Coalition, said deputies tried to intimidate family members of Rea and Vargas by "slowly driving by or parking in front of their homes," "slowly driving by memorial sites" and "damaging items at memorial sites."
