Current Events > California Cops MISTAKENLY Kill a 24 y/o Girl but said it was JUSTIFIED!!

(+) Yeah! (+)

California Police shot and killed 24 y/o Jennifer Vasquez on early christmas day after they got a report of a woman driving a suspected stolen car that was involved in a shooting..but it was reported that she was NOT the one involved NOR was the car she was driving!!

Jennifer was killed and her 28 y/o passenger, Linda Carmona Bruno was injured in the shooting in San Jose as Sgt. Enrique Garcia said officers responded to reports of shots fired from a white car.

They tried to stop the car but the driver took off leading to a chase down the city streets and onto the freeway

A witness flagged down police and directed them to her and said "that way, they shot"

The driver rammed into a police car before they opened fire into the vehicle.

Vasquez died on scene and the female passenger was treated for wound and booked into jail for outstanding misdemeanor warrant which is likely why they fled

Police released a statement that said "Officers must respond and react only with the information they have at the time. The fleeing stolen vehicle did appear at the time to be the suspects in a triple shooting in multiple areas of the city. Demonstrating a complete disregard for life and using the car to plow into an officer's vehicle while officers were standing in te immediate area from what they believed were armed attempted homicide suspects was the reason they fired. After further investigation, we do not believe it was the same vehicle involved in the shooting and no weapon was located. However, knowing that it matched the description at the approximate time of the shooting, was a stolen vehicle and the individual was so desperate to get away, all further led the officers to believe it had been involved in the shooting"

Loved ones state the shooting as "unjustified murder" as the victim's aunt, Virginia said "We feel everything is unfair. It was a different car and different person. We want this to go farther, more investigation."

Her cousin, Consuela said "She was scared. She was scared for sure. You know, when things happen, you don't think"

Do you think this was "justified"?

Jennifer - Deceased

You really had quite the aneurysm while typing this one huh?
---

Was about to say wtf...but they apparently rammed into a cop car and then lead them on a chase through the city? wat?
---

If things happened like they said it happen. She did this to herself. She rammed the polices. However there have been a ton of cases were police claimed a person tried to ram them, but it really wasn't the case so I do not suggest we give the police a pass just yet.

Depressing.

Well it was a really dumb idea to run from the police in the first place.
---

If you did nothing wrong the proper response to being pulled over is not to bolt and hit shit.

She got herself shot. Cars are crazy deadly weapons.

looks like a tie

Officers began following Vasquez's car and determined it was stolen after running the license plate through their system.

Police then pursued the car in a high-speed chase that lasted about seven minutes before Vasquez lost control of the car and crashed into a chain-link fence in the area of Fruitdale and Leigh avenues next to Sherman Oaks Elementary School.

Vasquez then allegedly drove backward and forward in an effort to remove the car from the fence, eventually positioning the vehicle to ram into a patrol car. Garcia said police officers were standing outside their cars and took her actions as a threat to their lives.
