Newly released video from inside the Lancaster WinCo before the controversial LASD confrontation is adding a new layer to the investigation.
Eyewitness News brought you a bodycam and cell phone video earlier this monthThe U.S. Department of Justice has launched an investigation into the incident and L.A. County Sheriff Robert Luna has called it disturbing, but the attorney for the deputy involved says the newly released video should have been released before Luna drew any public conclusions.
Yu released the footage from inside the store to Eyewitness News. It shows the female suspect exchanging words with store security, and at one point appearing to shove a security officer as she attempts to get past him. Moments later, she pulls down her face mask and appears to spit on the security guard, who wipes his face.
Yu said he demands to know why the sheriff would release body cam video of the incident without including video from inside the store for context.The deputy who took the female suspect down outside of the store remains on desk duty pending the outcome of the investigation.
