- Death of woman in Brentwood police custody ruled accidental
The death of 72-year-old Yolanda Ramirez in Brentwood police custody in 2025 was ruled accidental by a coroner's inquest. The Contra Costa County Sheriff's Office announced the ruling, noting the inquest is a separate process from a medical examiner's investigation into in-custody deaths.
