Graphic dashcam and body camera footage released by the Los Angeles Police Department, shows the moments a suspect, covered in his own blood, ignored and advanced toward officers with a large kitchen knife, further causing a deadly officer involved shooting.
Los Angeles Police Department’s (LAPD) Force Investigation Division is investigating an Officer-Involved Shooting (OIS) that occurred in Northeast Division.
On December 26, 2021, around 6:10 p.m., officers responded to a Los Angeles Fire Department backup request for a combative suspect suffering from lacerations and puncture wounds to his neck. The suspect, who at the time of this news release had not been identified, refused to exit a vehicle he was seated in. When LAPD officers arrived at the location, the suspect immediately exited the vehicle armed with a large knife. The officers repeatedly told the suspect to drop the knife. The suspect did not comply with the officer’s commands and, while holding the knife in a raised position, walked in their direction, resulting in an Officer-Involved Shooting. The suspect was struck by gunfire and fell to the ground.
The suspect was transported to a local hospital and was pronounced deceased.
The knife the suspect was armed with was recovered at the scene.
No officers were injured during the incident.
LAPD’s specialized Force Investigation Division responded to the scene and interviewed witnesses, and supervised the collection of evidence by the Forensic Science Division.
