Los Angeles Times

Marquez's mother sued the city of South Pasadena over the officer-involved shooting that resulted in her daughter's death during a wellness check in 2018. The lawsuit alleged poor tactics and overreaction by police led to the actress’ fatal shooting. “Any loss of life is tragic,” South Pasadena Mayor Diana Mahmud said in a statement. “However, I can now report the parties have reached a mutually agreeable settlement in the amount of $450,000 in order to save the parties the costs associated with protracted litigation.”
