Attorneys representing the son of a man shot and killed by Long Beach police last year filed a $10 million lawsuit against two officers, alleging they used excessive force.

The lawsuit, which identifies the officers as John Fagan and Daniel Martinez, claims the men shot Tyler Damon Woods Nov. 19, 2013, on a rooftop after he fled a traffic stop.

The lawsuit also follows a $10 million wrongful death claim and a separate excessive force lawsuit against the city filed in April by the same attorneys.

The Long Beach City Attorney’s Office had not yet received the more recent lawsuit Wednesday,and declined to comment until staff reviewed the case.

Woods was shot as he knelt on a rooftop near Fourth Street and Nebraska Avenue. The incident was prompted after he fled a traffic stop at 2:30 a.m. in the area of Third Street and Walnut Avenue.

Woods was wanted in connection with a carjacking in Los Angeles and was named in an arrest warrant that described him as an armed and dangerous felon, police said. He was also suspected of taking part in a recent armed robbery.

Police said in a written statement shortly after the shooting that “the officers discharged their weapons believing the suspect was about to fire at them.”

No weapon was found at the scene.

The number of officer-involved shootings in Long Beach spiked last year to 22, the highest number since 2008. Six of those were fatal, five resulted in the suspect being wounded by gunfire, and the other shootings included missed hits, shots fired at animals or an accidental weapons discharge.

In prior interviews, Long Beach Police Chief Jim McDonnell, who is the front-runner in the race for Los Angeles County Sheriff, defended the use of force and stated that each incident undergoes a thorough investigation. Officer-involved shootings are investigated by the Long Beach police homicide detail, and an independent investigation is conducted by the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office.

Woodland Hills attorney Dale Galipo and Glendale attorney John Fattahi filed the lawsuit Wednesday on behalf of Woods’ estate and his son Nye, who was born in 2012, seeking monetary damages in excess of $10 million.

The city initially refused to release Fagan’s and Martinez’ names, but a California Supreme Court decision in May required law enforcement agencies to release the names of officers who are involved in shootings unless releasing the names presents a threat to safety.

Galipo and Fattahi are also representing the family of John Del Real in the April lawsuit.

Del Real, a 39-year-old Long Beach resident, was shot shortly after he exited his home around 5:15 p.m. on Sept. 26. Police defended the use of force and said he was shot because he was reaching for something in his waistband. Police later found an aluminum bat inside his pants.

City officials have also released the identity of the officer who shot Del Real: Jason Kirk, a plain clothes officer.

Galipo was also the lead attorney in a lawsuit that resulted in the city paying $6.5 million in damages to the family of Douglas Zerby, who was fatally shot in 2010 by Long Beach police officers while holding a water hose nozzle that police mistook for a gun.

The city has appealed the verdict.
