Written by Black Hot Fire Network on December 23, 2023
LASD alleged in a statement that Finlayson had a knife and was threatening her boyfriend, at which point deputy Ty Shelton opened fire. The family disputed the police account, saying Finlayson was clearly a victim of domestic violence who needed help and posed no threat to the officers. The coroner said she died from “multiple gunshot wounds”.
The victim was a mother of two, and her daughter, Xaisha, is witness to the horrific event unfolding.
“The police lied that my mom was threatening them,” Xaisha said at a press conference on Thursday alongside her grandparents . . .
