Brendon K. Glenn was 29 when he was shot and killed on May 5, 2015, in the Venice neighborhood of Los Angeles. Known to friends as Dizzle and often seen with his black Labrador Dozer, Glenn was reportedly panhandling outside a bar on Windward Avenue the night he died. Officers from the LAPD responded to a complaint about a homeless man allegedly harassing customers; after an initial interaction, they later saw Glenn involved in a physical altercation with a bouncer. During officers’ intervention, Officer Clifford Proctor stepped back and fired two shots, striking Glenn in the back. Glenn was taken to a local hospital and pronounced dead shortly after midnight.

The shooting prompted public outcry. LAPD Chief Charlie Beck reviewed video of the encounter and raised doubts about the justification for the use of deadly force. The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office initially declined to file charges, citing insufficient evidence. In April 2016 the Los Angeles Police Commission ruled the shooting unjustified, finding no evidence that Glenn posed a deadly threat when he was shot. The family later reached a $4 million wrongful death settlement with the city, with half allocated to Glenn’s young son.

Does anyone have additional firsthand information about Glenn’s activities in Venice or the events outside the bar on Windward Avenue that night?
