How they died
Less-than-lethal force
The county police conducted a military-style SWAT assault on a private residence in seeking Serrato, including a Lenco Bearcat battlewagon. A fire started by a flash-bang grenade caused Serrato's death by smoke inhalation. Fire response was delayed by the SWAT other. Serrato was innocent, unconnected with the crime he was sought for, and unarmed. The county ultimately paid $2.6M in a federal civil rights lawsuit brought by his survivors.
