The man's children spoke after the verdict. The excessive force lawsuit was first filed in 2022.
Luis Garcia, 39, was homeless at the time in 2021 when police said they responded to a call about a man in some bushes.

When officers responded, they say Garcia quickly came out of the bushes, advancing at police. That's when they opened fire.
Video from a body-worn camera shows Garcia bursting out of the bushes and showing them a bag of cans for recycling and a stick he used to pick up the discarded trash.
Lawyers for the family say one officer shot him twice as he tried to run away, and as he was being tased by another officer.
The California Department of Justice reviewed the case, which is standard protocol, and said there was insufficient evidence to support criminal prosecution of any officer.

The autopsy report also showed that Garcia had presumptive positive results for methamphetamine.
Eyewitness News spoke to Garcia's daughters about the verdict on Wednesday.
"I hope that this never happens to anybody else. Because at the time, I was very young when this happened. I was about 12, 13 when this happened, and it was a very hard time for me to go through. I wouldn't want anybody else to go through the same," said Camila Garcia.
"I'll miss his presence, most definitely, his encouraging words to always do my best. I'll miss that he was always very protective," Emily Garcia said.
The city of Tustin released a statement saying police acted in self-defense. The city added that it continues to extend condolences, but is disappointed in the verdict and is exploring its options going forward.
"Reviews of this incident by the California Department of Justice determined that Tustin police acted in self-defense and were justified in the use of force against an armed suspect. While we continue to extend condolences, we are disappointed by this verdict, in this civil suit, and will be exploring our options going forward."
