Wrongful Death Lawsuit Against Escondido Officer

A wrongful death lawsuit has been filed against Escondido police after Jacob Illian, 39, died when an officer allegedly rammed his e-bike from behind during a pursuit. The family claims Officer Jason Ingco, 35, deliberately accelerated and struck Illian—who was unarmed, carrying his daughter home, and dealing with partial paralysis from a past injury—while he tried to avoid contact. The suit accuses the department of dangerous policy gaps, including no guidelines for pursuing cyclists or training on vehicle pursuits. Ingco pleaded not guilty to vehicular manslaughter, with trial set for September. The family seeks justice and damages, citing a troubling pattern of fatal pursuits by Escondido officers.
