New details reveal that Deputy Jonathan Lozada was under investigation for excessive force weeks before the fatal 2017 shooting of Susan Teel, raising concerns about whether he should have remained on active duty. The prior incident, which resulted in a suspect’s concussion, led to a suspension that was not enforced until months after the shooting.
Attorneys Guy Rubin and Todd Norbraten representing the Teel family, argue that earlier action by the Sheriff’s Office could have prevented the tragedy, as the case continues to examine accountability and law enforcement decision-making.
