Oscar Sandoval, 39, of Los Angeles died on December 30, 2017 after being shot by LAPD officers following a domestic violence dispute at his home. He reportedly retrieved a pellet rifle and later a handgun from the garage, then assaulted his wife; she fled the house with their daughter.

Officers who responded encountered Sandoval armed with a handgun. After attempts to de-escalate, Sandoval reportedly pointed the weapon at officers and they opened fire. The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Justice System Integrity Division reviewed the case and concluded the officers acted lawfully in self-defense and in defense of others; no charges were filed.

The investigation included multiple interviews, recorded statements, and a detailed analysis of events leading to the shooting. Does anyone have additional information about the incident or the family’s situation that could add context to what happened that night?
