Family Sues LAPD After Officers Fatally Shoot Their Dog During a Canoga Park Welfare Check
- A Canoga Park woman has sued the city of Los Angeles after LAPD officers shot and killed her dog, Jameson, during a June welfare check that was prompted by a neighbor who mistook her celebration of the Knicks' championship for screams of distress.
- The lawsuit alleges excessive force; the mayor has called the body-camera footage disturbing and ordered a review of the department's use-of-force policy.
