Pacoima, Los Angeles (Kabc) – The new Bodycam video published by the Police Department in Los Angeles shows the moments that led to shooting with the participation of an officer in the Pacoim’s Motel room, as a result of which a 30-year-old transgender woman was killed.

. The full film was published on Sunday at the YouTube Faculty website.

WARNING: This film contains graphic images that may be disturbing for some.

The incident took place in the morning of February 7 in the motel at San Fernando Road.

According to police, officers with the Foothill LAND department responded after receiving reports of possible kidnapping of a suspect in the motel.

“Comments from the conversation indicate that reporting a person, later identified as Linda Becerra Moran, was forced to stay in a place against his will,” the police said in a statement.

In the Bodycam movie, you see officers asking Morana questions in a motel room. One of the officers told another officer: “He doesn’t remember how it ended here.”

“She said she was dangerous to herself,” said the first officer.

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

Officer: “Where did they hit you?”
Moran: “But don’t put anything strong on my head. Check me out, but don’t put anything. “

Moran spoke mainly in Spanish throughout the whole meeting.

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

Then the officer checked her head.

“I mean I don’t see redness or cuts,” he said. “If you are hit with a bottle, you will have some grades.”

Then Moran began to talk to officers about how she thought about reference to her own life.

“I will not know how,” she said.

The police also published a video from Bodycam worn by the LAPD supervisor, who later responded to the stage. His camera captured the moment when Moran aroused.

“Why don’t you check the hit that I have here on my back?” She asked.

“One moment, okay?” The supervisor said.

“All right, but don’t touch me. Don’t touch me! ” Moran told officers.

Then she said: “If you don’t help me, don’t touch me.”

In the film, one of the officers told his supervisor that Moran “demands a business dispute” in the room.

Then Moran began to cry, saying to the officers to leave. Then she started screaming.

Continuing, she suddenly grabbed the knife from the kitchen in the motel room and put it around her neck.

“Kill me so!” She shouted in Spanish.

“You have a dco (Designated cover officer)You have less (Fatal rounds)“The supervisor told the officers.

“I need you to be in touch,” he said.

Another officer told Moran: “We will help in a moment.”

“You will make me do it,” said Moran.

At this point, the officers left the motel room and stood near the door. The police said that the officers “were hanging Moran many times to drop the knife.”

“Moran did not observe and advanced to officers, while holding the knife when the shooting took place in consideration,” the police said in a statement.

In one part of the film you can hear an officer who tells Moran to throw a knife before she approaches them.

Then Moran fired, causing him to drop a knife and fell on the bed.

Moran was arrested without further incidents. She was sent to a local hospital and later died of her injuries.

The police said that the knife was recovered from the scene and reserved as evidence.

No other injuries were reported.

On Tuesday, the police identified an officer involved in a deadly shooter as Jacob Sanchez.

Meanwhile, the Director of the influence of LGBT LGBT Los Angeles, Terral Russell-Slavin issued a statement on the incident, demanding immediate action.

“LGBT LGBT Center Los Angeles is in mourning and outraged by Linda Becerra Moran’s tragic murder, at the hands of the Los Angeles Police Department,” reads the statement. “This destructive loss is a clear reminder of transgender violence-especially translated women in color in the increasingly hostile political climate. The circumstances of Linda’s death require immediate action, responsibility and system changes from the management of our city.

Linda was an important member of our community, moving around the system, which too often neglects transgender people. She was looking for resources, support and security to meet the same system systems that cost life. Her death is not an insulated tragedy, but a part of the shocking pattern of excessive and unjustified force used against marginalized people. Silence on the part of the authorities, bureaucratic delays and the disgusting lack of responsibility in cases such as its not only failures-are activated by participation. It must end now.

We call on the Police Commission in Los Angeles and the Inspector General to conduct a full, transparent and accelerated independent investigation. Although this process is underway, officer Jacob Sanchez from the Foothill department should be placed on direct administrative leave. The investigation must not only determine its efficiency in service, but also assess whether you should submit criminal charges for excessive use of force. In addition, the actions of each committed official-especially that the postponed supervisor will be thoroughly examined. Calling help should never result in death from the hands of the sworn in to protect us. Not pulling officers responsible only consolidates the culture of impunity and the sanctioned by the state of violence, which our community does not want to accept.

Throughout the country, and even at the highest level of the government, transgender people are attacked, in the face of growing violence powered by politics and rhetoric anti-trans. Linda’s tragic murder is a painful testimony to this crisis. Now LGBTQ+ Angelenos needs bold leadership more than ever, which defends the rights and dignity of all residents, especially the most susceptible to system violence.

The center calls on the leaders of the city and LAPD officials to take quick action to ensure justice for Linda and involvement in permanent changes that will prevent further tragedies. We demand a meeting with LAPD leadership and expect transparency, responsibility and commitment to significant changes. Whatever less is a betrayal of the values ​​that our city claims that they support. “

The incident remains in the study.
