LAPD releases a new video of Police sweetness in Pacacima, which has left Ecuador Dead's transgender wife

Pacacima, Los Angeles (KABC) – New bodycam video published by the Los Angeles police department shows the moments that led to an officer that was shot in a Pacoima motor room in which a 30-year-old transgender woman was dead.

The full video was published on the YouTube page of the department on Sunday.

Warning: This video contains graphic pictures that may interfere with some.

The incident occurred on the morning of February 7th in a motel on San Fernando Road.

According to the police, officials from the Foothill Division of LAPD answered after reporting a possible detour suspect in the motel.

“The calls' comments showed that the person, who was later identified as Linda Becerra Moran, was forced to stay at the location against their will,” said the police in a statement.

In the Bodycam video you see civil servants who ask Moran questions in the motel room. One of the officers said to another officer: “She doesn't remember how she landed here.”

“She said she was the danger for herself,” said the first officer.

Then the officials asked Moran to sit on the bed. According to the police, she had told the officials that she was hit in the head.

Officer: “Where did you meet you?”
Moran: “But don't put anything strong on my head. Check me, but don't put anything.”

Moran spoke mostly throughout the entire encounter in Spanish.

Officer: No, we'll just check you. Where did you hit you? “

Then the officer inspected her head.

“I mean, I don't see any redness or cuts,” he said. “If you are hit in the head with a bottle, you will have some kind of markings.”

Moran then started talking to civil servants about how to think about being able to take their lives.

“I won't know how,” she said.

The police also published a video of a bodycam that was worn by a LAPD supervisor and later reacted to the scene. His camera grasped the moment when Moran was excited.

“Why don't you check the hit brand that I have on my back here?” she asked.

“A moment, okay?” said the supervisor.

“Okay, but don't touch me. Don't touch me!” Moran told the officials.

Then she said, “If you won't help me, don't touch me.”

In the video, one of the officials informed the manager that Moran “claimed a business dispute over the room”.

Moran then started crying and asked the officials to go. Then she started screaming.

When she continued, she suddenly grabbed a knife from the kitchen area of ​​the motel room and put it on her neck.

“Then kill me!” She screamed in Spanish.

“You have DCO [designated cover officer]You have less [lethal rounds]“The manager told the official.

“You have to be in contact,” he said.

Another officer then said to Moran: “We will help you a little.”

“You make me do that,” said Moran.

At that time, the officers left the motel room and stood near the door. The police said the officials “have repeatedly verbalized that Moran drops the knife”.

“Moran did not burn up to the officials while he was still holding the knife when an official of the shootout came,” said the police in a statement.

In part of the video you can hear an officer who says Moran that he should throw the knife away before she approaches her.

Then Moran shot and let her drop the knife and fall on the bed.

Moran was taken into custody without further incident. She was sent to a local hospital and later died of her injuries.

The police said a knife was recovered from the scene and was booked as evidence.

No other injuries were reported.

On Tuesday, the police identified the official, who was involved in the fatal shootout as Jacob Sanchez.

In the meantime, the Chief Impact Officer from Los Angeles LGBT Center, Terrax Russell-Slavin, published an explanation of the incident in which they demanded immediate measures.

“The Los Angeles LGBT Center is in mourning and outraged by the tragic murder of Linda Becerra Moran by the police department of Los Angeles,” the explanation said. “This devastating loss is reminiscent of a strong memory of the violent-personing-in-minds in particular transfected women of colors in an increasingly enemy political climate.

Linda was an essential member of our community and navigated a system that too often neglects and endangered transgender people. She was looking for resources, support and security security to cost lives with the same systemic failures. Her death is not an isolated tragedy, but part of a shocking pattern of excessive and unjustified power against marginalized individuals. The silence of the authorities, the bureaucratic delays and the hideous lack of accountability in cases as they are not just failure-sie are partially debt acts. That has to end now.

We call on the Los Angeles Police Commission and the General Inspector to carry out a complete, transparent and accelerated independent examination. During this process, officer Jacob Sanchez was to be transferred from the Foothill Division in immediate administrative leave. The investigation not only has to determine its office, but also assess whether criminal charges should be submitted for excessive use of violence. In addition, the actions of every civil servant, especially the on-site supervisor-Must-Must, are thoroughly examined. Calling help should never lead to death by the curved people to protect us. The non -observance of the civil servants only immortalized a culture of impunity and the state -sanctioned violence that our community refuses to accept.

Overall and even at the highest level of government, transgender people are attacked and confronted with escalating violence, which are promoted by the guidelines and the rhetoric of the anti-transs. Linda's tragic murder is a heartbreaking proof of this crisis. LGBTQ+ Angelenos need more brave leadership that defends the rights and dignity of all residents, especially those who are most susceptible to systemic violence.

The center asks the city leaders and LAPD officials to take rapid measures in order to ensure justice for Linda and to commit themselves to permanent changes, prevent further tragedies. We call for a meeting with LAPD leadership and expect transparency, accountability and commitment to a sensible change. Everything else is a betrayal of the values ​​that our city claims to maintain. “

The incident remains examined.
