The San Diego Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) on Monday admitted wrongdoing and announced it would pay $5.5 million to the family of a 24-year-old man who in 2019 stopped breathing while being detained by two of their employees and died.
Angel Zapata Hernandez was detained by an MTS code compliance officer and a security officer after wandering onto the train platform at the Santa Fe Depot in downtown San Diego on Oct. 15, 2019. After Hernandez ran from officers, he was handcuffed by the two security personnel held face down on the concrete, at times with a knee to his back and neck, before he lost consciousness and later died in a hospital, MTS CEO Sharon Cooney said.
