Body camera footage from the LAPD shows an incident in which officers shot and killed a 19-year-old man in South Los Angeles they believed was holding a rifle.

A video the department released Saturday included multiple 911 calls prior to the incident, as well as security and body camera footage from different angles of the scene.

The shooting happened back on Sept. 17. Officers said that when they responded to reports of domestic violence at a home at Grand Avenue and 102nd Street, 19-year-old L.H. of Los Angeles came out of the home with what appeared to be a rifle.

He was shot. Later that night, the LAPD announced that the gun officers originally thought was a rifle was, in fact, an airsoft gun.

Newly-released 911 audio shows that the man called emergency services at least twice that day.
"My dad is drunk, and he started beating on my mom, and I tried to get involved, and now he attacked me," the caller said in one call. "My dad…
I'm all bloody because of him," he said in another.

LAPD officers entered the property and officer body camera footage shows that when officers approached the front door, a person came out of the house, with the device in his hands, as officers ran around the corner of the building, hiding behind trash cans for cover.

"Put that down, put that down," officers are heard yelling at the man before eight shots are heard. "Let go of the gun," an officer is heard yelling at the man on the ground.

It's unclear from the video where the man's hands were. Video from officers who arrived later shows the arrest. In that video, when officers roll the man over to handcuff him, video shows they found another item that looked like a pistol. Officers determined that this was also an airsoft gun.
"It's a toy. Why did they assault him," an off-camera voice is heard yelling, saying that the man officers had shot was her son.

L.H was arrested, but Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics determined he'd died at the scene.

LAPD said it found NO evidence of domestic violence between the parents at that residence, as the 911 caller said. The department is still investigating the shooting.

'It doesn't fire', how the fuck are the police supposed to know that? Dude should of just hung himself instead of seriously mentally scaring those police officers and his parents.

Stupid kid, with a stupid toy got his ass whacked pointing the barrel of his toy at an officer. He has himself to blame and bringing this bullshit to his parents is fucked up

While I tend to think a lot of yank cops think they are in a 70s Clint Eastwood flick, the kid is solely responsible for this outcome.

That mom will probably try to sue the police department for wrongful death..even though he walled out with the toy gun and was told to put it down

I'm pretty sure he made the shit up about DV to get the cops there so they'd kill him when he came out with the airsoft rifle. Suicide by cop imo.

"You're the son of who?"
"My dad."

Hmm...yeah, that checks out.
