Officials say no evidence links Andres Guardado to incidents where deputy shot him
LA TimesLos Angeles County sheriff’s officials said Wednesday that the Gardena area where Andres Guardado was fatally shot five times in the back by a deputy was a crime hot spot, generating 23 calls for service in the last five and a half years. In a statement, the Guardado family’s attorney said the news briefing, which was billed as an update to the June 18 shooting investigation, “did nothing to explain to the family or the public” why Guardado was shot. “The department’s attempt to convolute and cherry pick the facts to create a narrative that links Andres’ death to previous incidents of crime near the shop is nothing more than an attempt to justify the killing of this young man,” attorney Adam Shea said in a statement. “The Sheriff’s Department has once again failed the Guardado family who were hoping today would be the day for truth in Andres’ death.” VIDEO | 00:58 Sheriff’s Department releases video that shows beginning of Andres Guardado’s fatal encounter with deputies The Sheriff’s Department on Wednesday released a short clip that captured the beginning of Andres Guardado’s encounter with two deputies before he was fatally shot by one.
