Relatives of a Silver Lake Trader Joe's assistant manager who was mistakenly shot by police pursuing a suspect who ran into the store in 2018 formally reached a $9.5 million settlement with the city Friday.
The family sued the city and Officers Sinlen Tse and Sarah Winans in November 2018. Corado was hit by a bullet from Tse's gun. The Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office released a report in December 2020 finding that Officers Tse and Winans were"justified in using deadly force in an attempt to stop" the suspect.
"I had no alternative but to fire my weapon at Gene Atkins in order to stop this deadly threat that he, himself, had created," Tse wrote."I fired based upon his actions and stopped when I realized he was moving into the Trader Joe's entrance to avoid striking individuals inside, despite the fact that he was still considered a violent fleeing felon and continued to pose an imminent threat of serious/great bodily injury and/or death while inside Trader Joe's.
