The bodycam footage picks up with the officer approaching the woman, 47-year-old Yan Li’s condo on March 3 to serve an eviction notice. When Li answers the door she is seen holding a knife and is visibly angered by the cops’ presence.
After initially being closed out, deputies forced their way into Li’s apartment in an effort to detain her following reports of her threatening building management and other residents with a knife. A struggle ensued inside the residence that spilled into the hall that left one officer wounded. Deputies subsequently opened fire on Li, killing her at the scene.
