14-year old Valentina Orellana-Peralta was hiding in a department store dressing room when she was allegedly shot by L.A. police as she tried to hide from a man suspected of assaulting other customers
ideo released Monday showed Los Angeles police firing at a man suspected of assaulting customers last week at a clothing store, a shooting that also killed a 14-year-old girl hiding in a dressing room who was struck by a bullet that went through a wall.
The early surveillance footage showed a man in a tank top and shorts carrying a bicycle up the store’s escalator to the second floor, where he wandered around, seemingly disoriented, clutching a cable-style bike lock. At times he stood motionless, staring into the distance. Other officers repeatedly said “slow down” and “slow it down” as the officer with the rifle moves forward.
The investigation is just beginning and it could take up to a year or more to complete, Spell said. The California Department of Justice is also investigating. Those figures mark a dramatic rise in cases where officers shot or killed people in either of the last two years—27 people were shot and 7 of them killed by LA police in all of 2020. In 2019, officers shot 26 people, killing 12.
