Two Los Angeles police officers who engaged in a 2018 gunfight with a suspect outside a Silver Lake Trader Joe s market, with a police bullet striking and killing an assistant store manager, acted lawfully and will not be charged with a crime, according to a report released Tuesday by the District Attorney s Office.
The prosecution assessment of the police shooting of Melyda Corado, however, is dated Nov. 30, about a week prior to new District Attorney George Gascon being sworn into office. The bullet that killed Mely Corado was fired by police. Rick Montanez reported on NBC4 News at 5 p.m. on Sunday, July 19, 2020.

LOS ANGELES, CA District Attorney George Gascon may be facing resistance within his own office to his plans to dismiss gang and other allegations that lead to longer sentences.
A former Los Angeles County prosecutor who now represents the family of a man killed in a crash by a driver allegedly under the influence of nitrous oxide is fighting moves by Gascon to drop great bodily injury allegations in that case and at least one other.
