Three deputies, one San Diego police officer shot and killed Yan Li after she stabbed an officer in the chest at a condo complex on West Beech Street
depicts events that occurred March 3 at the Acqua Vista Condominiums on West Beech Street near State Street. It starts with body-worn camera footage from Deputy Jason Bunch, who knocks on the door and rings a doorbell at Li’s fifth-floor condo. She opens the door, and Bunch confirms her name and hands her paperwork.“Here’s your notice for ...” Bunch starts to say when he suddenly notices Li holding a large butcher knife or meat cleaver in her right hand, down at her side.
The video resumes about eight minutes later when Bunch’s supervisor arrives and Li can be heard shouting from behind the closed door. Then another 40 minutes later, the video resumes with deputies and San Diego police officers with dogs preparing to enter Li’s unit. Neither sheriff’s officials nor San Diego police responded to questions Friday evening about whether the condo complex personnel had reported the alleged knife threat earlier, nor whether law enforcement had sought a warrant — or needed one — to enter Li’s apartment.
The less-lethal rounds appear ineffective as Li charges from the bedroom with the knife in her hand. A chaotic scene unfolds as the deputies and officers backpedal into the hallway, with three of them falling to the ground and over each other as Li emerges with the knife pointed in front of her. Police on Wednesday identified the four lawmen who opened fire as sheriff’s Sgt. Daniel Nickel, deputies Javier Medina and David Williams and police Officer Rogelio Medina. Each has worked for their respective department between 13 and 29 years.
“That’s information they learned after the service of was complete,” Carpenter said. “They hadn’t gone there to investigate an ongoing call for an assault with a knife.”
