City : Parkland
County : Pierce
State : Washington
Agency : Pierce County Sheriff's Department
Officer(s) : Not Disclosed
Cause of Death : Vehicle
Event : Bystander killed by police chase crash
OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
On March 15, 2022, Stephanie LaGuardia was killed when a man fleeing Pierce County Sheriff's deputies ran a red light and collided with the vehicle she was in at the intersection of 112th Street South and A Street South in Parkland. Her husband, Ernesto LaGuardia, who was driving, sustained serious injuries. The fleeing vehicle had been pursued by deputies for an alleged traffic violation. The LaGuardia family has filed a lawsuit against Pierce County, alleging negligence in the deputies' decision to initiate and continue the high-speed pursuit in a populated area, which they claim led to the fatal crash. The case raises questions about law enforcement's pursuit policies and the balance between public safety and the apprehension of suspects.
