407 2 minutes read Two members of the Antioch, Calif., Police Department killed 30-year-old Navy veteran Angelo Quinto in his home on Dec. 23, 2020, while he was experiencing a mental health crisis. Quinto’s mother and sister, who witnessed the horrific death of their loved one, initially called the police believing they would help Quinto through his crisis. However, the officers instead forced him out of his mother’s arms and kneeled on his neck for more than five minutes even as he pleaded for the officers not to kill him. Quinto, described by his family as caring and artistic, graduated from high school in 2008 and attended Berkeley City College prior to joining the Navy. At a Feb. 18 press conference, his family detailed how he suffered from anxiety, and the family’s lawyer John L. Burris said Quinto “had a basic fear of police as many men do.”
