The family of Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) officer Houston Tipping filed a new claim against the city regarding his death during a training exercise earlier this year, his family attorney announced last week.

Tipping family attorney Bradley Gage told reporters on Oct. 3 that Tipping, 32, died because of a spinal cord injury allegedly caused by an officer who he said was under a sexual assault investigation.
