Armed Man With Knife Gets Fatally Shot by Los Angeles Police Officers

** (Disclaimer: This video content is intended for educational and informational purposes only) **
On December 31, 2018, around 4:40 a.m., Van Nuys Area police officers responded to the 13600 block of Vanowen Street for a radio call of a screaming woman. Officers went to the apartment which was given to them in the radio call. Rony Parras-Mendez, eighteen years old, came to the door of the apartment armed with a large kitchen knife. Parras-Mendez was given commands, which he did not follow, and quickly moved toward one of the officers; at that time, there was an officer-involved shooting. Parras-Mendez was struck by gunfire and determined deceased at the location by Los Angeles Fire Department personnel. Prior to the arrival of the officers, Parras-Mendez had physically assaulted an adult male who lives at the apartment complex. The male was transported to a local hospital where he received medical treatment. No officers were injured during the incident. A knife, approximately 9 inches in length, was located at the scene and booked as evidence by investigators.

LAPD’s specialized Force Investigation Division responded to the scene and began interviewing witnesses and collecting forensic evidence. Representatives from the Office of the Inspector General and Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Justice System Integrity Division responded and monitored the investigation. The complete investigation will be reviewed by the Chief of Police and the Board of Police Commissioners and the Office of the Inspector General to determine the thoroughness and accuracy of the investigation and whether the use of deadly force complied with the LAPD’s policies and procedures. Additionally, representatives from the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office who responded to the scene will review the subsequent FID investigation; evidence collected and witness statements to determine if the force used by the officer(s) violated any criminal laws.

  1. We can see people get killed in gunfire by showing a naked human is TOO MUCH for our sensitivities.

    This country's idea of "morality" is screwed up.

  2. Bringing a knife to a gun fight is one thing but bringing a knife to a gunfight while nude is just ugly!

  3. Sad. Christmas decoration on the door. New years eve according to the date. A guy with a major mental breakdown and probably intoxicated gets shoot to death. Sad

  4. Absolutely not reason to shot!!! I really dont understand that us police is using the weapon for everything!!! Us police is looking for escalation!!!

  5. may be cops should check breathing and pulse on shot and silent person, before they put on handcuffs. It looks ignorant and stupid to handcuff dead.

  6. i mean, who doesnt like to get naked and have a knife in their hand when theyre home at night after a long day at work?
    add one decent beer to the mix and maybe some beef jerky, and sprinkle some PoliceActivity on top and youve got what i do after work. rofl

  7. That cop has amazing aim because he never hit the cop in crossfire it was amazing on how good his aim is

    Edit:imagine trying to arrest him like that

  8. impressive shooting considering the cop was cornered and being charged at by the naked knife wielding man and his partner shot him but not his partner in the process… well done

  9. that was scary the heavy breathing behind the door when they knocked…dude must have smoked some bad $hit… can cause psychosis and rage and paranoia
