Family of Angelo Quinto Settles for $7.5M with Antioch Over Fatal Police Restraint

The Navy veteran's death during a mental health crisis led to significant reforms in police practices and state laws.

Angelo Quinto died in 2020 after an Antioch police officer knelt on his neck for nearly five minutes.
The settlement includes a $7.5 million payout to Quinto's family from the city of Antioch.
The incident prompted statewide reforms, including bans on chokeholds and the use of 'excited delirium' in autopsies.
Quinto's death spurred the implementation of police body cameras and a mental health crisis team in Antioch.
The family continues to advocate for further transparency and accountability in law enforcement.
