Vanessa Marquez was shot and killed by South Pasadena police following a welfare check at an apartment on Aug. 30, 2018
“Perez first saw the gun in Marquez’s left hand as she exited her apartment and crossed the landing. Like Carrillo, Perez also heard the sound of a firearm magazine being loaded, and looked to other officers who acknowledged the sound. Perez observed Marquez descending the staircase in what he perceived to be an aggressive manner, ‘definitely angry’ and ‘charging’ at them with the handgun drawn,” the district attorney’s office said in the memo.
Still, the D.A. believes the men acted in self-defense as Marquez “posed an imminent threat to their lives.”“Based on all the available evidence and the foregoing analysis, we find that Officers Carrillo and Perez acted in lawful self-defense and defense of others,” the memo concluded.for breaking crime news, ongoing trial coverage and details of intriguing unsolved cases.
Marquez, who appeared for three seasons on the long-running NBC medical drama as nurse Wendy Goldman, was killed by South Pasadena police on Thursday, Aug. 30 following a welfare check at an apartment complex for someone “who was possibly suffering from a medical condition.” She was 49. In a sheriff’s office statement shared after her death, it was revealed that South Pasadena officers found Marquez “having seizures” and “possibly suffering from mental health issues.”
