David Coborubio was at his friend’s house playing video games in Los Angeles County when the FBI entered the house on Aug. 25 and fatally shot him in the chest.

The 31-year-old’s family plans to file a wrongful death claim against the FBI and the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department,  89.3 KPCC reports. 

The search warrant was for his friend, Paul White, who was wanted on a parole violation.

The family’s attorney said Coborubio ran toward the backdoor of the home when he and his friend saw an armed man at a gate at the end of the driveway.

Coborubio said she heard three gunshots, followed by someone yelling “FBI.”

“He lay dying on the door of my bedroom,” Martinez said. “He came to warn me. … I saw my baby at the door of my room dying.”

The FBI declined to say whether Coborubio was armed or if agents believed he was armed.

“In order to carry out a fair and objective investigation, we have not provided details beyond what was contained in the statement,” said spokeswoman Laura Eimiller.
