"Her death was preventable!" said civil rights attorney Ben Crump, who was hired to represent the family of 14-year-old Valentina Orellana-Peralta.The Los Angeles Police Department released video footage Monday showing the moment when an officer fatally shot 14-year-old Valentina Orellana-Peralta while firing three rifle rounds at an assault suspect inside a Burlington Coat Factory store in North Hollywood.
Orellana-Peralta was with her mother trying on clothes in a Burlington dressing room on Thursday when she was shot and killed by an officer whose name has yet to be released by the LAPD. Police said Monday that a bullet bounced off the floor and went through the wall of the dressing room. The officer also fatally shot 24-year-old Daniel Elena Lopez, who was accused of striking store customers with a bike lock. Asthe scene:"Roughly a dozen officers showed up at once, guns drawn. One officer in charge appears to briefly try to deescalate by saying 'slow down' and 'get distance,' but as soon as the officer actually sees Daniel, he escalates to lethal force, firing three bullets without pause or commands.
"The video did not show the officer assessing whether there were any bystanders before shooting," Levin observed. Watch the compilation released by LAPD, which includes body-cam footage, surveillance clips, and audio from 911 calls
