LAPD releases footage of moment officers shot and killed woman’s dog

The Los Angeles Police Department released footage on June 20, 2026, showing officers shooting and killing a woman's dog in a hallway outside her Canoga Park apartment. Police had initially responded to a call about a woman screaming on June 13, which was later determined to be cheering following the New York Knicks' NBA finals victory over the San Antonio Spurs. The released video includes a moment prior to the dog's appearance in the hallway where an officer is seen pointing a pistol directly at the woman. The incident occurred in the Canoga Park neighborhood. The LAPD's release of the bodycam footage aims to provide transparency regarding the event.
