For Star subscribers: Lawyers representing the family of Angela Heath-Fox say Pima County was negligent in hiring and keeping the constable who also was killed in the shooting on the job.
Jamie Donnelly The family of a woman who was killed in a mass shooting during an eviction at the Tucson apartment complex she managed has filed a $50 million claim against Pima County, saying the constable conducting the eviction was unqualified and the county was negligent in hiring and keeping her on the job.
People are also reading… Not only was Pima County negligent in hiring Martinez-Garibay, it failed to remove her from the position after learning of ethical concerns and didn't train her properly, the claim says. Supervisors were wrong to appoint Martinez-Garibay in March to fill a vacancy in Justice Precinct 8 because any amount of due diligence would have raised red flags about her qualifications, the claim reads.
Prior to the deadly shooting, Martinez-Garibay was facing accusations of falsifying petition signatures in her effort to make the ballot, the Arizona Daily Star previously reported. It was also alleged that Martinez-Garibay didn’t live in the precinct in which she was running for election. A couple months before the shooting, Martinez-Garibay along with another constable were reprimanded by Tucson police for conducting an unsafe eviction, the notice of claim said. Officers at the scene had a blunt conversation with the two constables and expressed their concern about their equipment and tactics. They told the constables they were operating in “unsafe conditions and expressed serious concerns that they will be ambushed inside a residence,” the claim says.
At the time of the shooting, Martinez-Garibay had not received mandatory training that constables must attend within six months of their election, the claim says.
