The family of a man shot and killed by Los Angeles police has filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against the department, claiming the officers were negligent during a mental health crisis call in May 2024.
On May 2, 2024, officers shot 40-year-old Yong Yang multiple times at the family home. This announcement came on Saturday, May 2, 2026, marking the two-year anniversary of his death.
The family gathered outside the federal courthouse in downtown Los Angeles to announce the lawsuit. Yin Yang, the victim's twin brother, spoke at the event.
