LOS ANGELES — A jury has ruled against the parents of a Los Angeles police officer who sued the city, alleging their son’s death during a department training in 2022 was retaliation for an investigation of a fellow officer accused of sexual assault.
After deliberating for nearly three days, the jury found Wednesday that the city was not liable for the death of Houston Tipping, and that his family had failed to prove he was killed in an effort to silence him. The verdict put a coda on a long-running legal saga that raised questions about safety standards at training sessions for police officers.
