The family of James Blancocotto—who was fatally shot by police in Lake Stevens in 2023 while facing mental health and drug issues—filed a federal civil rights lawsuit in Seattle alleging that state delays in court-ordered mental health treatment led to his mishandled care and death. The lawsuit claims officials failed to meet a 14-day evaluation requirement and the case remains in its early stages.
