La familia de un <\/span>Un hombre de Rancho Cucamonga muri\u00f3 tras un control de tr\u00e1fico.<\/span><\/a> Un residente de Claremont ha presentado una demanda contra la ciudad y los dos agentes implicados, reanudando una batalla legal que se ha prolongado durante casi un a\u00f1o.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00bfQu\u00e9 le sucedi\u00f3 a Diego R\u00edos durante el control de tr\u00e1fico?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Diego Alfonso R\u00edos, de 30 a\u00f1os, falleci\u00f3 el 28 de noviembre de 2025, luego de que los agentes del Departamento de Polic\u00eda de Claremont, Joshua Orona y Benjamin Alba, lo detuvieran cerca de la intersecci\u00f3n de Claremont Boulevard y Andrew Drive. La polic\u00eda inform\u00f3 haber recibido reportes sobre un hombre que actuaba de manera err\u00e1tica y posiblemente bajo la influencia de narc\u00f3ticos.<\/span><\/p>\n

Las im\u00e1genes de la c\u00e1mara corporal, difundidas en enero de 2026, mostraron a los agentes aplicando una llave de estrangulamiento carot\u00eddeo y una inmovilizaci\u00f3n f\u00edsica en posici\u00f3n prona, incluyendo una rodilla sobre R\u00edos durante el incidente. Perdi\u00f3 el conocimiento y fue declarado muerto en el Centro M\u00e9dico del Hospital Pomona Valley.<\/span><\/p>\n

In February 2026, the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office ruled Rios’ death a homicide, citing asphyxia as a factor.<\/span><\/p>\n

Acerca de la demanda civil<\/b><\/h2>\n

Rios’ family had filed an earlier lawsuit and then voluntarily dismissed it in January 2026 while continuing to investigate.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The family also filed a liability claim against the City of Claremont in February 2026, alleging the officers violated Rios’ Fourth Amendment rights and ran afoul of <\/span>Secci\u00f3n 7286.5 del C\u00f3digo de Gobierno de California<\/span><\/a>, que proh\u00edbe a los organismos encargados de hacer cumplir la ley autorizar t\u00e9cnicas de estrangulamiento o sujeci\u00f3n que creen un riesgo sustancial de asfixia posicional.<\/span><\/p>\n

La demanda recientemente presentada acusa a Claremont y a los dos agentes de uso excesivo de la fuerza y homicidio culposo, argumentando que R\u00edos estaba sufriendo una crisis de salud mental durante la detenci\u00f3n y que los agentes no solicitaron refuerzos ni la presencia de un especialista en salud mental a pesar de las se\u00f1ales de angustia que presentaba.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00bfQu\u00e9 sigue?<\/b><\/h2>\n

The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office has continued to review the case for possible criminal charges against the officers, though no charges have been filed as of this update.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

La demanda civil ahora traslada el asunto a los tribunales, donde la familia est\u00e1 buscando... <\/span>da\u00f1os compensatorios<\/span><\/a> and accountability for Rios’ death.<\/span><\/p>\n
