The widow of an El Monte police sergeant announced Nov. 29 the filing of a $25 million claim against Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón and the county over the deaths of her husband and his partner in June, maintaining that the pair’s killer should have been incarcerated at the time because of his prior criminal record.
Janine Paredes, the wife of the deceased sergeant, also names in the claim the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office and the county Probation Department, alleging wrongful death and emotional distress.
