An LAPD investigation is ongoing; police commissioners ultimately will determine whether use of lethal force in the Costco shooting was within policy.
Hestrin played a portion of a low-quality surveillance video, but the images were grainy, and it was hard to decipher what was happening. The recording shows French, wearing a striped shirt, being pulled along by a male family member in a dark shirt. The two men become entangled and fall to the ground, and a woman is seen approaching them. Sanchez is barely visible in the far-left frame.
“It was out of the blue and unexpected,” Hestrin said. “The officer was hit in the back of the head while holding a child in his hands.”The Los Angeles Times requested a copy of the full video from inside the store in late June, citing both California public records laws and Assembly Bill 748, which requires government agencies to produce video and audio recordings of critical incidents involving police that result in death or great bodily injury.
French was normally calm, but he had had a recent change in medication that might have affected his behavior, Galipo said.The family was at Costco shopping for Father’s Day and had been there for about 30 or 40 minutes when they stopped at a stand for sausage samples, Galipo said. At some point, Kenneth French got into a physical altercation with Sanchez, who was holding a child. Paola French has said she thinks her son pushed or shoved the officer, Galipo said.
