2:37Now PlayingThe family of 56 year old Oral Nunis who died after being detained by officers is now filing a wrongful death lawsuit. The lawsuit claims the officers' use of force directly led to the 56 year old's death.
Nunis was a Jamaican immigrant who owned a small trucking business. On March 13th he was visiting his daughter when she claims he threatened to kill himself. His daughter then called 911 for medical assistance. Officers arrived on the scene and tried to place Nunis in handcuffs but he was uncooperative.
That's when officers placed him in a Wrap restraining device. At some point Nunis was said to be unresponsive while in an ambulance. He was then pronounced dead when he arrived to the hospital.
The complaint brought by the family says "This lawsuit concerns the outrageous, careless, and unlawful use of deadly force by city officers, as well as their malicious effort to distort the true facts of their own misconduct. In addition, this case raises questions concerning the proper use of the 'wrap,' the latest in a line of law enforcement weaponry that directly led to Mr. Nunis' death."
Despite the family's concerns, the Chula Vista Police Chief believes her officers responded appropriately.
