* (Disclaimer: This video content is intended for educational and informational purposes only) *
Los Angeles, California — On July 20, 2023, at around 11:35 a.m., Newton Patrol Division uniformed officers responded to a radio call of an Assault with a Deadly Weapon (ADW) suspect there now, where the caller indicated that the suspect, while armed with a knife was threatening another person. The assault occurred at an apartment building located in the 1000 block of East 7th Street. Officers arrived at the location and met with security, who advised that the suspect, 56-year-old Billy Stribling was located on the 6th floor of the building. Security staff escorted the officers to the elevator where they ascended to the 6th floor.

Upon the elevator doors opening on the 6th floor, the officers encountered Stribling, who was armed with a knife and an umbrella. Stribling raised the knife above his head and advanced towards the officers which resulted in an Officer-Involved Shooting (OIS) and simultaneous deployment of a 40mm less-lethal projectile. Stribling was struck by gunfire and by the less lethal projectile. He fell to the ground and was taken into custody without further incident. Officers at scene rendered aid to Stribling until the arrival of Los Angeles City Fire Department personnel. He was transported by rescue ambulance to a local hospital where he was pronounced deceased. No officers or bystanders were injured during this incident. A five-inch fixed blade knife was recovered at scene and booked as evidence.

  1. After reviewing the footage I believe the office failed to properly engage and lack of training.

    The officers could have placed the non lethal in front and prepared to engage in proper safety.

    Non lethal should had been used first.

  2. Years ago, I watched a French documentary where they said that counter-terrorism units avoid taking elevators, and I think this is the reason why.

  3. But i thought housing drug addicts and the mentally is would fix the problem!! I thought if we just gave them a house and a place to live everything would be fixed! 😂😂

  4. Did anybody else notice how jacked that female officer is? 💪🏻👮🏻 In a brawl, my moneys’ on her💰💵…

    👮🏻🤜🏻💥🤪

  5. I’m not sure if the ppl saying thank you he out our hair, paid any attention to what the manager said about his mind set!! That being said I get the shooting but I’m also a tad suspicious of the officer gun hoe response! The other 2 barely had time to assess the situation..on the other hand I totally agree with them! They want to go home to they families too!!

  6. When a knife, hammer, machete is involved. Can you please reach for your taser instead of your gun? Taser's stop these people instantly. There is no death involved.

  7. Bruh I'm probably a psychopath but the way he slowly fell was the funniest shit I've ever seen. Like Kevin Hart's joke about old people who take too long to fall. 😅

  8. Other than at a BBQ, I've yet to see someone walking around shirtless with a knife in their hands, have any Good Intentions 0_o

  9. What these so call cop's don't understand it's alot of people with mental health issues..smdh thay didn't have to do that unless he changed you period!!!

  10. LA Dispatchers be like: "OK, how long is the knife? Just to the exact thousandth of an inch. Is it a full-tang blade? What was the place and date of purchase?"

    Lady, it's a crazy with a knife. You don't need to know the Rockwell hardness of the steel.

  11. Give his room to someone who is actually trying to get better and not just riding that gov checkbook.
