Nearly two years after Mely Corado was killed in a police shootout at the Trader Joe's in Silver Lake where she worked, protesters are marching through the neighborhood in her memory while calling on the LAPD to be held accountable.
The march started around 2 p.m. at the Northeast station of the LAPD and was to move toward the Trader Joe's.
The shootout happened July 21, 2018. LAPD had been pursuing an armed motorist named Gene Evin Atkins. The chase ended up in Silver Lake, where Atkins shot at officers Sinlen Tse and Sarah Winans in their patrol car.
When Atkins crashed his car, he ran into a Trader Joe's on Hyperion Ave. and exchanged fire with police. One of the officer's bullets hit Corado, who was inside the store.
