Prosecutors confirmed Wednesday that the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office decided it could not bring criminal charges against five former Inglewood Police Department officers — who shot to death a man and woman initially found asleep or unconscious in a parked car.
Prosecutors confirmed Wednesday that the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office decided it could not bring criminal charges against five former Inglewood Police Department officers -- who shot to death a man and woman initially found asleep or unconscious in a parked car.
The DA's decision, issued more than 5 years after the February 21, 2016 killings of Kisha Michael and Marquintan Sandlin said,"we have concluded that there is insufficient evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the officers' use of deadly force was unlawful." The 36 page memo from the DA's office that detailed its review of the officers' actions noted that the Inglewood Police Department's investigation of the killings was,"incomplete," but said that the physical evidence in the case largely corroborated the accounts the five shooting officers gave to investigators: that they were fearful either Michael or Sandlin would use the handgun in the car to fire at police.
The DA's decision was finalized on March 31, 2022, approximately 6 weeks after the statute of limitations for a possible charge of manslaughter expired, though no consideration of a criminal charge was included in the DA's memo.
