SEPTEMBER 28, 2021
CALIFORNIA — The Los Angeles Police Department has released body cam video of a shooting involving a suicidal man in Wilmington.
On August 13 at around 10:55am, LAPD Harbor Patrol Division officers responded to a call of an attempted suicide in the 1700 block of Wilmington Boulevard.
As officers arrived, they came in contact with the suspect, identified as 26-year-old Brandon Mayhand, holding a knife in his hand.
Officers gave Mayhand commands to drop his knife, however he refused to comply.
Mayhand began to walk towards the officers with the knife and an officer deployed a beanbag shotgun, according to Los Angeles Police Captain Stacy Spell.
However, Mayhand remained on his feet and continued to advance towards the officers.
Another officer then deployed a 40mm less lethal foam round projectile which also struck Mayhand with no effect, Spell said.
Mayhand continued to advance towards the officers with the knife in his hands at which point an officer-involved shooting took place.
Mayhand was struck by gunfire and fell to the ground. Due to the proximity of the knife, an officer deployed a TASER and an arrest team moved in to take him into custody, Spell added.
The knife was recovered at scene.
The shooting remains under investigation at this time.
