The Los Angeles police officers involved in the accidental killing of a Trader Joe’s manager when they opened fire on a man who was fleeing into the store after a car chase will not face criminal charges in the manager’s death, the Los Angeles County district attorney’s office said Tuesday.
Melyda Corado, 27, died from a single bullet wound as two police officers exchanged gunfire with Gene Atkins outside the Silver Lake store in July 2018. Police had been pursuing Atkins across the city, and the 29-year-old had fired on them numerous times during the pursuit, which police said began after he had shot his grandmother.
