“하루의 끝에서, we do believe that it was an accident, we do believe he’s sorry for what he did, but those feelings will not bring (Orellana-Peralta) back to life. For our coalition, it’s about accountability,” Ali said.
Jones and other officers had responded to the store in North Hollywood on Dec. 23 after receiving multiple 911 calls about an assault and possible shots fired. Police last week released video clips, radio transmissions and 911 calls of the encounter.
Jones fired three rounds at Daniel Elena Lopez, 24, after he allegedly damaged property at the store, tried to rob two females and left a female shopper bloodied from an attack with a bicycle lock. Police later said that Lopez, who died at the scene, was not armed with a firearm.
