“The tragic killing of Jameson was unnecessary and unwarranted,” said Najee Ali, Senior Organizer of the Los Angeles National Action Network. “We demand immediate accountability, which can only happen through the prompt release of the body-worn camera footage and the names of the officers responsible for shooting and killing Jameson. The public deserves transparency, and the family deserves answers.”
UPDATE—new video clearly shows LAPD fired at least 2 shots at dog.
And very recklessly.
Neighbor points out 2 bullet holes in balcony floor—at least 6 feet apart.
It's very lucky that no other residents of crowded condo complex were hit.

“We were just so happy. We were just so happy. We were just celebrating the Knicks. We were f—— celebrating the Knicks,” the woman screamed.
Raymon Alvarez, who lives across the street, said he heard the screaming while heading out for a walk.
“The screaming I heard was like, ‘Ah! Oh my God! Oh my God!’ Like just, pure screaming,” Alvarez said. When he returned home, he said he heard gunfire.
“I didn’t think they were gunshots at first because this area is not really known for any sort of gun violence,” Alvarez said.
The dog owner’s son told Eyewitness News off-camera that his mother had simply been celebrating the Knicks’ championship win and that Jameson was energetic but not violent.
“He’s such a good dog!” the woman can be heard screaming in the video from the scene.
Now, a memorial is growing in the hallway where neighbors watched Jameson die.
The neighbor who called police told Eyewitness News off-camera that they they feel guilty for calling 911, but sincerely thought their neighbor was in trouble.
The circumstances that led up to the police shooting are under review.
