Family outraged that LAPD officers wonât face charges in shooting that killed Trader Joeâs manager
LOS ANGELES - In 2018, Melyda Corado was fatally struck with a Los Angeles Police Department bullet as two officers engaged in a gunfight with a suspect outside a Silver Lake Trader Joe s. She was working that day as the store s assistant manager.
Since then, her father and brother have been searching for answers as to why their loved one, a bystander in the entire ordeal, was killed.

Two Los Angeles police officers will not face criminal charges in the 2018 shootout at a Trader Joe s store that injured the armed suspect the officers were pursuing, and resulted in the death of the store s assistant manager.
In a newly released memorandum from the Los Angeles County District Attorney s Office, prosecutors determined the officers were justified in using deadly force because they were trying to protect themselves and the public.
The Los Angeles Police Commission ruled today that the LAPD officer who fatally shot a 38-year-old man last spring violated department policy when she continued to fire after he lay wounded on the ground.
Officer Toni McBride shot Daniel Hernandez six times on April 22; the commission disagreed with Chief Michel Moore s recommendation that it find the shooting within policy. The panel found McBride s first four shots were within policy, but that the fifth and sixth rounds were not.
The killing just south of downtown L.A. sparked angry protests throughout the summer.
It will be up to Moore to decide whether to discipline McBride. And new District Attorney George Gascón will decide whether to file any criminal charges against the officer. He has promised to more closely scrutinize officer shootings than his predecessor, Jackie Lacey.
