The Los Angeles Police Department has admitted that one of its officers fired the bullet that killed a Trader Joe’s employee during a chase and shoot out in the city. The admission was made by LAPD Chief Michel Moore, who told reporters during a news conference the department had determined during its investigation that one of two officers responding had fired the shot which had unintentionally killed the 27-year-old victim, Melyda Corado, as they pursued Gene Evin Atkins, the 28-year-old suspect. “I’m sorry to report that we’ve now determined through our forensic investigation, that one of the officers’ rounds struck Ms Corado as she was exiting the market and was in close proximity to Atkins,” Mr Moore said.
