Families of 2 men who died after encounters with Los Angeles police file claims against the city

LOS ANGELES — The families of two of three men who died in encounters with Los Angeles Police Department officers on the same day earlier this month filed claims Friday against the city, each calling for better accountability and at least $50 million in damages.

Keenan Anderson, who was Black, and Oscar Leon Sanchez, who was Latino, died hours apart on Jan. 3 following confrontations with police that quickly escalated.
