Vazquez Family Sues Park Mental Health Over San Diego Mosque Shooting
The lawsuit says the facility ignored FBI warnings and missed red flags as Vazquez left treatment before the shooting that killed three worshippers.
- On August 31, the family of 18-year Caleb Vazquez filed a lawsuit against Park Mental Health Treatment of San Diego, alleging negligence regarding his involvement in the deadly mosque shooting that killed three people.
- Vazquez was receiving treatment for depression and psychotic episodes at the residential facility. Law enforcement had previously flagged his behavior and confiscated 26 guns from his father under a California law targeting dangerous individuals.
- Four days before the shooting, the FBI warned his mother about Vazquez's dark web threats of violence. According to the lawsuit, she notified the facility after the warning, but the facility failed to intervene before he went missing.
- Park Mental Health denied responsibility in a statement, calling the lawsuit "misguided" and asserting that "neither Park nor its employees are responsible for Mr. Vazquez's actions." The facility attributed conduct solely to him and his co-conspirator.
- While authorities continue investigating the May 18 shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego, North Carolina officials recently indicted a 17-year co-conspirator identified as Cain Clark in connection with the attack.
