A coroner's office inquest into the death of 18-year-old Andres Guardado, who was fatally shot by a sheriff's deputy in Gardena, upheld a previous conclusion by the office that his death was a homicide, officials announced.
The unsealed indictment charges Vega and Hernandez with conspiracy, deprivation of rights under color of law, witness tampering, and falsification of records, the statement said. Vega is charged with an additional count of falsification of records. The indictment also alleges that Vega and Hernandez obstructed justice in multiple ways to conceal and cover up their detention and false imprisonment of the man.
The conspiracy charge carries a statutory maximum penalty of five years in federal prison, while the civil rights offense carries a maximum sentence of 10 years, if convicted, prosecutors said. The alleged offenses of witness tampering and falsification of records each carry a statutory maximum sentence of 20 years.
These are some Crooked ass cops.
