The lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, claims that paramedics were performing a wellness check on 49-year-old Marquez when police escalated the tension after she refused to be taken to a hospital.
The suit was obtained by NBC Los Angeles.
“This is exactly the kind of lethal and unnecessary police action that has led so many in the country to call out for police reform,” the mother’s attorney Vicki I. Sarmiento told the outlet.
“This was a situation in which Ms. Marquez was in her home minding her own business and instead of receiving assistance from medical professionals, she was shot to death.”
The suit seeks unspecified damages.
The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office concluded the two officers acted in self-defense when Marquez threatened them with a weapon, which was later determined to be a BB-type gun.
Marquez played nurse Wendy Goldman on “ER” for three seasons.
