For years, the disproportionate number of deaths at San Diego County jails has drawn heavy attention from journalists as well as from civil rights activists who question why the Sheriff’s Department hasn’t taken greater steps to ensure inmate health. For years, the department has insisted that it is addressing the issue and that criticism is overblown.
But the crisis persists. This month, the county decided to settle a lawsuit for $3.5 million over the 2018 death of Paul Silva, 39, a mentally ill man who was detained by San Diego police after his mother called to report he was behaving psychotically after he stopped taking medication for schizophrenia.

NBC 7 s Omari Fleming has the latest from the scene.
Based on the size of the building, the amount of fire damage and the injuries to the firefighters, the ATF was tapped last week by the Chula Vista Fire Department to help with the investigation into the fire’s origin and cause. The ATF – with 20 additional investigators – began processing the scene on Jan. 28.
Investigators determined the fire started on the second floor of Active Footwear. People were inside when it sparked at around 5:40 p.m. that day, but they all managed to escape safely.
The CVFD said high winds blowing through the county that day exacerbated the fire. As the flames spread quickly, the roof of the building collapsed.
