In April 2024, the City Council of Stockton, California, approved a $6 million settlement with the family of Shayne Sutherland, a twenty-nine-year-old man who died in 2020 after Stockton Police officers held him facedown for nearly eight minutes. On October 8, 2020, Sutherland called 911 while experiencing a mental health crisis. Responding officers Ronald Zalunardo and John Afanasiev handcuffed Sutherland and restrained him in the prone position outside a convenience store, with Afanasiev applying pressure to his back, before Sutherland died. While the official cause of death cited methamphetamine intoxication and cardiac arrest, a second autopsy commissioned by the family concluded that Sutherland died due to positional asphyxia and ruled his death a homicide. The family’s federal civil rights lawsuit alleged wrongful death, negligence, and excessive use of force. Although California passed a law in 2021 banning police from using maneuvers that put people at significant risk of positional asphyxia, Stockton Police Department policies as of March 2024 stated that experts continued to debate positional and restraint asphyxia. |
