LAPD Dog Shooting
See You In Court For Jameson’s Death!!!
Owner Sues City
Published
The family of the doodle Jameson, who was shot to death by an LAPD officer last month during the NBA Finals … has slapped the city with a lawsuit.
According to legal docs obtained by TMZ … Jameson’s owners, Marie Marseille and Jeremiah Garcia, claim the officer who fatally shot the dog used “excessive and unreasonable” force, which they say amounts to “unlawful seizure.” They are also suing for negligence.
We’ve been following the heartbreaking case — Marie’s neighbor called the cops for a welfare check after she was heard screaming from her apartment, and it was later discovered she was celebrating the Knicks’ NBA Championship victory. During Marie’s encounter with police, Jameson was shot to death … with the LAPD claiming Jameson charged at them after Marie was ordered to keep him under control.
Mayor Bass called for a “thorough and transparent” investigation after body cam footage of the shooting was released by police — while LAPD Chief McDonnell promised a multilevel, transparent examination of the tragedy.
The family is suing for an unspecified amount, which includes damages and attorney’s fees.
