Under pressure from victims' families and questions over deadly pursuit, LAPD Chief Michel Moore says video footage will be released by the end of this week.
Los Angeles Police Chief Michel Moore said Tuesday he would make public by week’s end dashcam and body camera videos from a police pursuitFamily members, their attorney and activists last week accused the LAPD of covering up its role in the deaths of Janisha Harris, 35, and Jamarea Keyes, 38, after a police report revealed that two officers from the department’s 77th Street Station pursued that speeding motorist shortly before the deadly crash.
Their families demanded the video evidence following LAPD denials that a pursuit had occurred before the crash. Moore acknowledged that the police cruiser had given chase after seeing a speeding green Cadillac on Broadway, and an investigation is ongoing into the “officers’ actions leading up to and during the immediate aftermath of this collision as to their compliance to the department rules, regulations and policies.” The chief said the driver was arrested on suspicion of vehicular manslaughter while driving under the influence of marijuana.
Moore did not describe the specifics of the pursuit. But multiple law enforcement sources told The Times the evidence gathered shows the police cruiser turned to give chase to the Cadillac, and the pursuit was much longer than 15 seconds before the deadly collision.
