Joanna Lua, 23, was shot and killed by a Los Angeles police officer at an apartment on Van Nuys Boulevard on June 15, 2024. Officers had responded shortly after midnight to a 911 call reporting that a woman armed with a knife was trying to enter her sister's locked bedroom.

According to the district attorney's account, officers forced a bedroom door, and Lua advanced toward them with a raised kitchen knife. Officer Mackay Hurtado fired one round while Officer Israel Cabrera fired his Taser at the same moment. Both struck Lua. She was taken to Providence Holy Cross Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead at 1:29 a.m. Body-camera footage records officers forcing entry, ordering her to drop the knife and deploying the gun and Taser.

On December 22, 2025, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office concluded that Hurtado acted lawfully in self-defense and defense of others and declined to file criminal charges.
