The Los Angeles Police Department on Wednesday said it has launched investigations into the deaths of three men after encounters with their officers last week. In two of the cases, the officers shot and killed the civilians.
She later told responding officers outside the residence that Smith refused to leave and that she feared he would “put his hands” on her. The woman said there was a knife inside and that Smith had already threatened to fight the police.
The dialogue continues in the kitchen, with Smith shouting at police, at times unintelligibly. He eventually makes his way back to the entrance of the kitchen, only to go back in and briefly grab what the LAPD said was a 10-inch “butcher style” knife from the counter, prompting one officer to raise his stun gun and another to point what appears to be his service weapon.
The officers briefly stop shocking Smith, at which point he grabs the knife again. Police continue telling him to drop it, but he briefly raises it above his head. At that point, two officers fired their guns for a total of seven shots, LAPD Chief Moore said. By the time officers arrived, Moore said, Sanchez was standing on the second-story landing of an abandoned residence while holding the makeshift spear in one hand and a metal chain in the other. After officers arrived, one of them began speaking to him in Spanish, bodycam video showed.
Sanchez moaned in pain. After handcuffing Sanchez, the officers carried him to the base of the stairs, where paramedics began rendering aid, the LAPD said. The department said officers also recovered a utility knife at the scene.Anderson died Jan. 3 after going into cardiac arrest about 4-and-a-half hours after officers shocked him during a struggle in Venice near the intersection of Lincoln and Venice boulevards, the LAPD said.
Anderson is then shown standing and asking for water. The officer tells him he’ll get him some water but to sit against the wall. Anderson begins walking away and saying he wants people to see him. The officer tells him to sit on the sidewalk, closer to the intersection, if he wants people to see him.
Anderson continues shouting that the officers are trying to kill him. Bodycam videos from other officers show police holding Anderson down and telling him to calm down or they’ll deploy their Tasers.
