Culver City PD released body camera footage and patrol cruiser videos that showed moments leading up to the shooting death of Guillermo Medina in Dec. 2022.
This comes as earlier in the week, V. James DeSimone, the attorney representing Medina's family claimed there was "no truth" that Medina made threats with a handgun. The attorney made the declaration Tuesday with Medina's wife shaking her head vehemently at the time.
Back in Dec. 2022, Medina's wife called Culver City PD's front desk – not 911 – just after midnight. In the phone call audio, the wife can be heard telling staff that she is scared.Guillermo Medina: Family to file lawsuit against Culver City in deadly use of force arrest When police arrived at the scene, officers tried to speak with Medina. Instead of following police orders, that patrol car video shows him driving away and leading police on a near-hour-long pursuit. The chase ultimately ended in a crash and a footchase ensued.
Instead of a gun, Medina had a dark-colored cell phone with him. Officers found a replica gun inside his vehicle.
