How they died

Less-than-lethal force

NPD Lt. Neil Minovich and Sgt. Anthony Costa, suspected that Warren Lee had drugs inside his car. Minovich and Costa allegedly beat Lee until he stopped breathing and lost consciousness. Believing that the man was faking his distress or that it was induced by swallowing drugs, the officers did not call an ambulance, and Lee died on the scene. The case, brought as a wrongful death suit by Lee's father, was later settled for $60,000.
