Jubal Hunter
Jubal Hunter, 60, was a grandfather who loved taking his grandchildren to the park and spoiling them with doughnuts, according to his daughter, Tawana Hunter. He was held at Men's Central Jail in Los Angeles County, where he was awaiting trial, and his lawyers had raised concerns about his dialysis, meals and warm clothing during the more than two years he was there. In March 2023 he was hospitalized with COVID-19 and respiratory failure, and his lawyers said deputies refused them access to him for days. His family was later refused permission to see his body, and no official cause or manner of death is stated in the reporting.
Cause of death, as reported: Cause not yet determined (neglect alleged). His lawyers say deputies refused them access to him for days after he was hospitalized with COVID-19 and respiratory failure, and that his dialysis and warm clothing were not properly addressed while he was held.
Reported by: his family's lawsuit (family or their lawyers).
