June 21, 2022

A federal jury found a San Bernardino sheriff’s deputy guilty of violating a man’s rights after fatally shooting him during a July 22, 2018, traffic stop.

The June 17 verdict orders the county to pay Juan Ramos’ family $4.5 million. Attorneys on both sides have not yet responded to requests for comment.

The family’s third amended complaint claimed San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Deputy Gary Wheeler stopped Ramos in Highland at 4 p.m., July 22, 2018, after claiming to receive a dispatch regarding Ramos’ car.

Wheeler claimed he saw Ramos with a box cutter as he approached the vehicle.
