Modesto 11-Year-Old Was Killed In Drug Raid.
The family of an 11-year-old Modesto boy killed in his home during a
narcotics sweep has settled a wrongful-death lawsuit against the
city and several of its police officers for $2.55 million. The total
is in addition to the $450,000 settlement the family will receive
from the federal government for the boy's death.
San Francisco lawyer Arturo J. Gonzalez, who represented the family
of Alberto Sepulveda, said Wednesday that the $3 million total
settlement is believed to be the largest paid by government for the
wrongful death of a child.
The boy's father, Moises Sepulveda, still faces criminal charges in
connection with the raid in September 2000 on the family home in
which his son was shot in the back while following an officer's
orders to lie face down on the floor.
