In fatal shooting, LAPD says man aimed at officer. Body cam tells a different story
The department broke its silence on Friday, when it made public video footage of the deadly encounter from cameras worn by officers.
After his initial command to stop, Jongsomjit says nothing to Cua or his partner before firing. He first mentions Cua’s weapon after Cua has been shot and is motionless on the ground. And in her statement on the video, Muniz said that because of where they are mounted on officers’ chests, “the angle of the camera prohibits viewers from seeing everything the officer saw and experienced.”
Jongsomjit and his partner responded and spotted Cua, who was wearing a white T-shirt and black and white shorts, walking in the area with another man. Jongsomjit is heard on the video instructing another officer to put out a help call on the radio and warning the officer Cua “has the gun on him.” Jongsomjit repeatedly yells, “Let me see your hands!” at Cua, who was lying motionless on the pavement.
Hellerstein said Cua was from Guatemala and his full name was Marvin Cua Sapon. Medical records, she said, showed he had been diagnosed with schizophrenia and battled bouts of depression, which she suspects contributed to several run-ins he had with police.
