Hello, I'm Jennifer Forkish, public information director for the Los Angeles Police Department. This critical incident community briefing is intended to provide you with information about an officer involved shooting that occurred in Northeast Division in the city of Los Angeles. You're about to see relevant video footage and learn about other evidence and police procedures related to the case so you can have a better understanding of what occurred based on what we know right now. The LAPD conducts very thorough use of force investigations which typically require investigators to interview multiple witnesses, view numerous hours of video footage, and analyze a significant amount of forensic evidence. We are still at the very early stages of this investigation which can often take up to a year to complete and our understanding of the incident may change as this additional evidence is collected, analyzed and reviewed. We also do not draw any conclusions about whether the officers acted consistent with our policies and the law until all the facts are known and the investigation is complete. A word of caution, the images and information you are about to see may be disturbing. When a police officer uses force to arrest a suspect or defend against an attack, it can be graphic and difficult to watch. In addition, there may be strong language used by those shown in the video. Viewer discretion is advised, especially for young children and sensitive viewers. Hello, I am Captain Alex Shoji, commanding officer of media relations division of the Los Angeles Police Department. I'm going to provide you a brief overview of an officer involved shooting that occurred on April 8th, 2025 at around 3:55 p.m. Northeast Patrol Division officers responded to a California Highway Patrol, CHP, request for assistance in locating multiple hitandrun suspects who had fled the scene of a traffic collision and were last seen running into a residential neighborhood near the 134 freeway and Figuroa Street.

Bodywn video cameras are used by most officers assigned to field duties. They are worn at chest level and capture a general perspective within the line of sight from that angle. The angle of the camera prohibits viewers from seeing everything the officer saw and experienced. Upon activation, both audio and video will turn on. However, bodywn video cameras have a buffer of video without audio for the previous 2 minutes prior to activation. This feature is designed to capture incidents that occur suddenly where an officer doesn't immediately activate the camera. Here is body wararm video from the officers involved in this incident. Go meet with CH. I think they have a better location. Where's he at? I see him. Moments later, nearby residents informed an officer on the perimeter that they had seen one of the suspects in their backyard jumping into a neighbor's yard. Hey, sir. In our backyard.

Charlie, I'm getting back. [Music] One of the three initial suspects wanted for the hit and run was ultimately detained by CHP officers a short distance away. He was subsequently questioned and released. CHP investigators will be submitting the hit and run case for filing consideration against this suspect. It was later determined that Shriner was not involved in the initial hit and run incident and actually lived at the residence she was seen at. Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics responded and transported Shriner to a local hospital to be treated for the gunshot wound she sustained as a result of the officer involved shooting. While there, medical staff determined that Shriner would require extended treatment and admittance to the hospital. Investigators recovered a Glock 9mm handgun. Shriner was armed with as well as a spent cartridge casing at scene and booked them as evidence. Shriner was absentee booked for attempted murder. She was subsequently released from custody after posting bail and is scheduled back to court on April 30th, 2025. Jillian Shriner is a 51-year-old resident of Los Angeles. In the next several months, the LAPD will continue to investigate and analyze this incident. We will continue interviewing any new witnesses that may come forward and complete any forensic tests. After the investigation is complete, our critical incident review division will forward their findings to the chief of police, who will make his recommendation to the civilian board of police commissioners. The board will evaluate the evidence to determine whether the officer's tactics, drawing and exhibiting a weapon, and use of deadly force in this instance, complied with LAPD policy and met the high standards expected of all LAPD officers. Additionally, the Office of the Inspector General conducts a parallel and independent review of the investigation and will provide its recommendations to the board.
