Los Angeles County police officers shot and killed a 27-year-old woman who had been subjected to domestic violence while her 9-year-old daughter witnessed the whole process.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department (LASD) released a body video footage of a law enforcement officer on the 29th, in which a 27-year-old mother dialed 911 to report the incident during the domestic violence incident**, and about 3 seconds after entering the scene, Deputy Sheriff Ty Shelton (Ty Shelton) directly in front of her 9-year-old daughter, fired 4** in a row and killed her mother. Even the ex-boyfriend, who was physically pulling with the deceased, screamed"Nope!Why are you shooting?"
In addition to Shelton, two other law enforcement officers also caught him firing on body cameras. According to the Guardian report, the case occurred at a residence in Lancaster, a city north of Los Angeles on the 4th, and the recording of the report ** showed a 27-year-old woman Niani Finlayson screaming and shouting, claiming that a man did not want to leave her house and needed to be assisted immediately. The law enforcement officer's body camera captured a woman screaming inside the house, and when Finlaison opened the door, her 9-year-old daughter was standing next to her.
When the deceased opened the door to let the police into the house, his 9-year-old daughter was standing nearby. Lasd said Finlaisen was armed with a kitchen knife. The footage shows Finlaisen appearing to be telling police that her ex-boyfriend assaulted them, seemingly referring to men"Punched"or"Pushed"She, a female police officer, first entered the house, Finlaison and her ex-boyfriend moved to the other side of the room far from the door, and then Deputy Sheriff Sheldon followed into the house, first took a stun gun (taser) from the policewoman's hand, but only about 3 seconds later, he immediately fired four shots at Finlaison.
* Noted that Finlaissen was holding a knife in one hand and a man in the other.
Finlaison immediately fell to the ground, and her ex-boyfriend broke down and shouted"Nope!Nope!Why are you shooting?"Finlaisen's daughter heard the gunshots and immediately fled into the house. The report pointed out that before Sheldon fired Fenlaison, he and the other two officers at the scene did not appear to have used it"Less lethal"or other tactics to de-escalate the situation. Lasd said Finlaisen was pronounced dead at the hospital after being taken to the hospital, and her ex-boyfriend was subsequently released pending further investigation on charges of child abuse and assault on police**. Finlaison's family said the ex-boyfriend had hurt her and her daughter and had filed a claim against LASD and the Los Angeles County locality**. The 9-year-old girl who witnessed the killing of her mother at the scene said"The police lied that my mom was threatening them. "As early as June 11, 2020, when Sheldon was dispatched to the scene of a suspected domestic violence case, he shot and killed a 61-year-old man, Michael Thomas, but the law enforcement process at that time was not filmed. Thomas's girlfriend later said she had an argument with Thomas, who tried to prevent the police from entering the home because it was weeks after George Floyd, an African-American, was kneeled and killed by a white police officer, and Thomas was unarmed and feared the police would kill him. However, Sheldon was not charged after he was shot in the chest, resulting in his death.
