- Estate of Kurt Weiss and Matt Weiss v. County of Riverside (5:24-cv-00766 ): Civil Rights Act. Unassigned.
- Matt Weiss, the brother of Kurt Weiss, sues the county on allegations that Riverside Sheriff’s deputies contributed to Kurt’s suicide on April 11, 2022.

Kurt’s partner had hidden the handgun in their attic out of concern for Kurt’s mental health. Sheriff’s deputies were notified of the gun’s location, and one of them called Kurt to inform him of its location, according to the complaint. Kurt had called 911 four times that night, but Sheriff’s deputies had not entered the house to stop him, the complaint said. The complaint brings claims of a state-created danger.
