City News ServiceThe city of Los Angeles wants to prevent the testimony of a pursuit suspect whose actions allegedly led to the mistaken 2018 fatal shooting of an assistant manager inside the Trader Joe's store in Silver Lake, saying he is expected to refuse to answer defense questions during trial of the family's civil suit.inside the Silver Lake store in 2018 have tentatively settled the family's lawsuit.
Atkins, now 34, was shot in the left elbow as he ran from the car into the market. He was subsequently charged with murder for the 27-year-old Corado's July 21, 2018, death, along with 50 other counts, including shooting and wounding his grandmother and 17-year-old girlfriend and firing at police officers. He is still awaiting trial.Prior to the shootout at Trader Joe's, Tse and Winans began to pursue Atkins, who had earlier allegedly shot and wounded his grandmother.
Atkins previously sent a handwritten note to the plaintiffs' lawyers stating that he never fired any shots after his car crashed outside the Trader Joe's at the end of the police pursuit, but the officers maintain he did fire in their direction. "While only Officer Tse's round struck Ms. Corado, both officers' actions were inconsistent with generally accepted police practices as they placed the community at risk of death or serious bodily injury as they fired toward a busy store at a subject who was running away from the officers," Noble said.
Shots fired by Atkins at both officers struck a nearby pole, according to Tse, who further says he and his partner ran for cover behind a concrete wall in the parking lot while Atkins was inside the store.
