(Yuba-Sutter, CA) – The shooting death of a 10-year-old boy in Olivehurst last February has led to a $30-million lawsuit against the Yuba County Sheriff’s Office along with sheriff’s deputies and Yuba County.

10-year-old Frank Rosiles Jr. was fatally shot on February 5th in what was then described by law enforcement as a “dispute among families.” 31-year-old Juan Ortiz of Olivehurst was charged with first-degree murder and has since entered a not guilty plea.

The Appeal-Democrat reports some of the controversy leading to the lawsuit is the role played by YCSO deputies: Court documents reveal that Rosiles “was shot in the abdomen inside his relatives’ home. Relatives attempted to call 9-1-1 but had difficulty speaking to a dispatcher.” The child was then going to be transported to the hospital in the backseat of a pickup truck, however, as the truck was leaving “several patrol vehicles” allegedly “intentionally blocked the pickup truck.”

The lawsuit claims those actions prevented medical treatment for the boy as he was reportedly laid on the ground for about 15 minutes.

The family also claims after Rosiles was hospitalized, they were not allowed to see him, and were not told of his death until 11:00 that night, even though he was pronounced dead at 8:16.

When asked to respond to the allegations, Katy Goodson with the Yuba County Sheriff’s Office told the paper “we are unable to comment on the pending investigation.” Yuba County officials also had no comment at this time.

The lawsuit on behalf of the estate of Frank Rosiles Jr. and his mother, Lori Rosiles, was in federal court in Sacramento on Monday.
