Event : Killed by police during traffic stop

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On March 14, 2025, at approximately 10:20 p.m., Los Angeles Police Department officers conducted a traffic stop near Imperial Highway and Broadway in South Los Angeles after observing a vehicle being driven erratically. Officers ordered the driver, 35-year-old Mario Sanchez, to lower his windows and place his hands outside the vehicle. Sanchez reportedly exited the vehicle, removed a dark object from his waistband area, and quickly pointed it at the officers. Believing the object to be a weapon, officers opened fire, striking Sanchez. He was transported to a nearby hospital, where he was later pronounced dead. The object Sanchez pointed at the officers was later determined to be a cellphone. His family states that he had been shot more than 30 times.

Family's Response:
Following the incident, Sanchez's family and community members gathered outside the Southeast Los Angeles Police Department Station to protest the shooting, holding signs that read "A cellphone is not a gun" and "Justice for Mario Sanchez." His sister, Evelyn Sanchez, stated that her brother had texted her at 10:20 p.m., informing her he had been pulled over by the LAPD, and was killed within minutes of that message. She described Mario as a forklift driver and father of two, demanding accountability for the officers involved.

Investigation:
The California Department of Justice is conducting an independent investigation into the shooting, as mandated by AB 1506, which requires such reviews when an unarmed civilian is killed by law enforcement.

Event : Killed by police during standoff

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On March 12, 2025, Elbert County Sheriff’s deputies responded to a domestic disturbance call involving a man armed with a handgun inside a fifth-wheel trailer on County Road 77. Deputies ordered the man to exit, but he refused to comply. Initial attempts to end the standoff involved firing less-lethal rounds, which struck him and caused him to complain of back pain, yet he remained barricaded inside.
The situation escalated when deputies fired pepper ball rounds into the trailer. The man responded by firing two gunshots from inside. Three deputies immediately returned fire with live rounds. After the gunfire exchange, there was no further communication from inside.
For over an hour, officers maintained containment, using drones to monitor the trailer’s interior from multiple angles. The drones relayed video to command, showing the man lying motionless on the floor. A SWAT entry team, equipped with ballistic shields, tactical armor, and breaching tools, moved in to secure the trailer and confirm he was deceased. The scene was then turned over to investigators for evidence recovery and documentation. The man’s identity has not been released publicly.
