The family is suing the LAPD, Burlington Stores, Inc. and others for wrongful death, negligence and infliction of emotional distress.
In the suit, the family said LAPD officers failed their duties and were “poorly supervised” and “poorly trained.”
When police arrived at the store, body-camera footage showed LAPD Officer William Dorsey Jones, Jr., leading the charge and holding an AR-15 rifle while other cops were heard saying, “slow down.” “Officers of the Los Angeles Police Department, including Defendant William Dorsey Jones Jr., entered the store and, despite knowing that the store had not been evacuated and that civilians were still inside, recklessly discharged a department-issued firearm, a high-powered AR-15 assault rifle, without warning at Daniel Elena Lopez, who was neither armed with a firearm nor in the act of inflicting physical injury upon anyone,” according to the suit.
Lopez also died at the scene from a gunshot wound to the chest, LAPD officials said. The coroner’s report showed he had methamphetamine in his system.
