In reaching its conclusion, a divided commission broke with LAPD Chief Michel Moore, who recommended the commission find Officer William Dorsey Jones Jr.'s decision to shoot was unreasonable and violated the LAPD’s policy on deadly force.
The Los Angeles police officer who inadvertently killed a teenage girl when he shot at an assailant in a North Hollywood department story late last year was justified in firing his weapon once, but was wrong to keep shooting, the city’s Police Commission ruled on Tuesday.
In a 3-2 vote made in a closed-door session, however, the commission disagreed with Moore, concluding the first of three shots Jones fired from a rifle was in line with department rules on the use of force. Jones told department investigators he believed he only fired twice and did so because he thought Elena-Lopez was raising his arm with what the officer perceived to be a gun. The department probe found that Jones actually fired three shots, from a distance of about 16 feet.
The incident reignited calls for fundamental changes to the city’s police force, with many critics calling for Jones to be charged criminally. Some critics said Tuesday’s ruling sent the wrong message.
