Rep. Waters to Request Federal Investigation into Andres Guardado’s Death
December 3, 2020
Rep. Maxine Waters said today she will formally request U.S. Attorney General William Barr investigate the killing of 18-year-old Andres Guardado by a sheriff’s deputy near Gardena as a civil rights violation.
“Enough is enough,” Waters said in the announcement, a day after multiple sheriff’s department officials declined to answer questions during the Los Angeles County coroner’s office inquest into Guardado’s death. The officials cited advice from attorneys.
