Angelo Quinto, 30, passed three days after being restrained by police inside his home in Antioch in 2020.
His family filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the city. Antioch denies wrongdoing but settled the lawsuit to avoid trial.
“He believed in all his family members. He believed in me more than I could ever believe in myself,” said Quinto’s sister, Isabella Quinto Collins. “He loved to be alive. He was so grateful for life, and I hope that if he is somewhere out there, that he is grateful for everything that we’ve tried to do in honor of him.”
Quinto’s death has led to calls for reform in the Antioch Police Department. Meanwhile the city has implemented a number of changes, including banning of restraint tactics and face-down holds, equipping officers with body cameras and creating a mental health crisis response team.
