Jury awards $21 million to family of pregnant teen killed by Fremont police

in a wrongful death suit alleging police beat and tased a man to death.

Mondragon, an Antioch resident, was one of four people inside a car driven by 19-year-old Rico Tiger, who authorities said was responsible for multiple violent armed robberies in Fremont and around the Bay Area. The Southern Alameda County Major Crimes Task Force, composed of members of multiple law enforcement agencies, were tracking a stolen BMW Tiger was driving to the City View Apartment complex in Hayward on March 14, 2017.

After Tiger was seen by officers returning to the car with Mondragon and two others, officers were delayed slightly by a resident pulling into the lot. Tiger began to pull out of a parking space, when Chahouati pulled the van “nose to nose” with the bumper of the BMW, briefly “chirped” the siren, and Hernandez activated police lights in the visor, the officers’ attorney Patrick Moriarty said during the trial.

Hernandez, who said he thought Chahouati had been killed, fired two shots from a rifle at the car as it drove by, and Miskella fired five shots from a rifle.
