In July 2020, while Donavan La Bella was standing across from the federal courthouse in downtown Portland with his hands above his head, a deputy U.S. marshal discharged a less-lethal weapon at his face, causing injuries for which the federal government has given him $7.65 million.
The shooting went off. Among other life-altering injuries, La Bella crushed the front of his skull while holding a music speaker in the air, causing irreversible brain damage.
