The Los Angeles Police Department have released store and body camera footage that showed the fatal shooting of a 14-year-old girl who was struck by a stray bullet while in a Burlington store dressing room.

Officials said that 14-year-old Valentina Orellana-Peralta was killed by a bullet that skipped off the floor and pierced the wall when officers shot at an armed suspect in the North Hollywood store on 23 Dec 2021.

Daniel Elena-Lopez, 24, attacked several shoppers with a heavy-duty cable lock and was wielding it when police arrived.

In the graphic, 35-minute LAPD video, blood-curdling screams could be heard from inside the dressing room area where Valentina and her mother were hiding – right behind a wall where officers fatally shot Elena-Lope.

Celia Stubbs, whose partner Blair Peach was killed by police 42 years ago, hopes her appearance at the Undercover Policing Inquiry will help her discover why she was spied on for decades.

Stubbs, 81, and still active politically by supporting refugees and asylum seekers, is among thousands of political activists that members of the London Metropolitan Police’s Special Demonstration Squad (SDS) highlighted for attention from 1968 onwards. Targets included women, with whom officers sometimes had relationships and children.
