The Los Angeles Police Department officer who opened fire on a suspect in a Burlington store in North Hollywood on Thursday has been placed on leave as officials investigate the shooting that killed a 14-year-old girl, CBS Los Angeles reports.
The investigation has been handed to the California Department of Justice under a new law that requires any deadly shooting at the hands of an officer — intentional or not — to be investigated by the state's attorney general.
LAPD Chief of Police Michel Moore told CBS LA that one officer fired three rounds. The assault suspect, later identified as 24-year-old Daniel Elena Lopez, was shot in the chest and died at the scene. No gun was found on the suspect. LAPD Assistant Chief Dominic Choi said, "Preliminarily, we believe that round [that killed Orellana-Peralta] was an officer's round."
He called for the swift release of body-cam footage, store surveillance video and recordings of all 911 calls concerning the incident by no later than Monday, a process that normally takes up to 45 days.
