Delano, CA — Disturbing video was just released as part of a lawsuit this week showing a Tulare County sheriff’s deputy shooting an unarmed woman and then forcing her to crawl toward him as she bled out. The woman had committed no crime and police were only there because they had wrongly accused her boyfriend of participating in a drive-by shooting. He did no such thing.
The incident unfolded six months ago in June when Alexis Resendez and her boyfriend, Arturo Galvan were staying in a hotel. The video was just released this week as part of a lawsuit against the city of Tulare.
According to police, Tulare County sheriff’s deputies and officers from the Delano police department were at the hotel that night looking for Galvan because he was a suspect in a drive-by shooting the day before. When police responded to the hotel room, for unknown reasons, Galvan attempted to flee by jumping out of the window. We would never know the reason he fled because as he jumped out of the window, officers waiting outside opened fire, killing him in a hail of bullets. He was unarmed.
“Open the door,” the deputies yelled from inside the hotel. Then, all of the sudden, they heard gunfire. Not realizing that it was coming from their fellow officers executing the unarmed man outside, the officers backed up and yelled again.
As deputy Rommel Verenzuela ran past the hotel room door, his fear got the best of him and he began shooting for no reason. As he ran past the room and fired a round like a cowboy, he would hit the innocent and unarmed woman inside.
“He doesn’t know what he’s shooting at,” legal analyst Tony Capozzi said. “There’s no question about that. But what’s in his mind when he does that? Does he believe his life in danger at that point in time?”
“Why’d you guys shoot me?” you could hear Alexis Resendez ask in Verenzuela’s body camera video.
“We heard the shots and someone opened the door, ok?” he told her. “We didn’t know if it was going to be him coming out.”.........https://fromthetrenchesworldreport.com/watch-cop-shoots-innocent-unarmed-woman-forces-her-to-crawl-to-him-as-she-bleeds-out/258674
