Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Los Angeles, California — On March 9, 2024, around 1:00 p.m., Mission Division officers responded to a radio call of a violent male with mental illness at an apartment in the 14000 block of Foothill Boulevard. The suspect of the radio call, later identified as Carlos Zepeda Jr., had forced entry into a family member’s apartment and struck a family member with a wooden stick. The family fled the apartment and called 9-1-1. When officers arrived, Zepeda threatened to stab officers while brandishing kitchen shears.
The officers established a perimeter and contacted Metropolitan Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) Unit. SWAT responded and spent several hours negotiating with Zepeda to resolve the incident without force. A SWAT Crisis Negotiation Team (CNT) that includes a psychologist and a Systemwide Mental Health Assessment Team (SMART) were also involved and attempted to resolve the incident without force. Ultimately, SWAT deployed a chemical agent in the apartment, and Zepeda exited. Zepeda was armed with a large kitchen knife with a 9 ½” blade. Despite multiple commands to drop the knife, Zepeda rapidly descended a courtyard staircase toward the officers. Less-lethal projectiles and electronic control devices were used, however Zepeda continued running toward officers, resulting in an Officer-Involved Shooting. Zepeda was struck by gunfire and fell to the ground. Los Angeles Fire Department personnel who were at the scene transported Zepeda to a local hospital, where he was admitted for treatment for his gunshot wounds and is listed in critical condition. Zepeda’s family member was not seriously injured and declined medical treatment. No officers or other community members were injured due to this incident. The knife Zepeda was armed with was recovered at the scene.

Records subject to disclosure under the Public Records Act
Pursuant to the California Public Records Act (Government Code § 6250 et seq.) "Public records" include "any writing containing information relating to the conduct of the public’s business prepared, owned, used, or retained by any state or local agency regardless of physical form or characteristics." (Cal. Gov't. Code § 6252(e).) notes that "[a]ll public records are subject to disclosure unless the Public Records Act expressly provides otherwise." County of Santa Clara v. CFAC California Government Code § 6254 lists categories of documents not subject to disclosure under the Public Records Act. In addition, computer software is not considered a public record, while data and statistics collected (whether collected knowingly or unknowingly) by a government authority whose powers derive from the laws of California are public records (such as license plate reader images) pursuant to EFF & ACLU of Southern California v. Los Angeles Police Department & Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department and are not exempt from disclosure and are public records. Although the act only covers “writing,” the Act, pursuant to Government Code § 6252(g), states: “Writing” means any handwriting, typewriting, printing, photostating, photographing, photocopying, transmitting by electronic mail or facsimile, and every other means of recording upon any tangible thing any form of communication or representation, including letters, words, pictures, sounds, or symbols, or combinations thereof, and any record thereby created, regardless of the manner in which the record has been stored. Agencies permitted to claim copyright
California's Constitution and its statutes do not permit any agency to claim copyright for "public records" unless authorized to do so by law. The following agencies are permitted to claim copyright and any works of these agencies should be assumed to be copyrighted outside of the United States without clear evidence to the contrary:
County of Santa Clara v. CFAC held that the State of California, or any government entity which derives its power from the State, cannot enforce a copyright in any record subject to the Public Records Act in the absence of another state statute giving it the authority to do so.
