Sheriff’s deputies chased and shot a security guard in the back multiple times at an auto repair shop in Los Angeles named Andres Guardado. He was just 18. Security footage shows that Guardado was kneeling with his back to the deputies, posing no threat whatsoever, when he was shot. Miguel Vega, the officer who fatally shot Guardado, had previous complaints against him. The officers claim that Guardado had a gun- but there is no evidence that that is true. The Sheriff’s Department has been accused of criminal misconduct in handling the case. They point to the fact that Sheriff Deputies ripped security cameras off the walls of nearby buildings and took them. Andrew Haney, manager of Freeway Auto Shop, where Andres worked as a part-time security guard, said the Sheriff’s Department took security footage from his shop without a warrant, and Memo Torres of nearby LA Taco had a video showing where security cameras were broken off the walls. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/district34/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/district34/support
