Summary
Three days after LAPD officers shot and killed a dog named Jameson in Canoga Park, the LA National Action Network demanded body-camera footage and the officers' names at a news conference outside police headquarters.
Saturday's shooting happened after police responded to reports of a woman screaming inside a Jordan Avenue condo building, where witnesses said she had been celebrating the New York Knicks' championship win.
Cellphone video captured the woman crying that they were "just celebrating the Knicks," while her son told Eyewitness News Jameson was energetic but not violent; a photo showed the dog wearing a Knicks shirt.
A neighbor who called 911 said they believed the woman was in trouble and now feel guilty, as a memorial grows in the hallway and LAPD reviews the circumstances of the shooting.
