The recent shooting of a homeless man — who was identified Thursday as Charly Leundeu Keunang, 43, after days of international mystery — has once again drawn focus to police use of force.
Los Angeles Police Department officers so far this year have fatally shot three people, two downtown. In addition to Keunang, 24-year-old Pablo Meza was shot and killed Jan. 17 near the intersection of Jesse and Mateo streets. Officers responded to a call of a man with a weapon. Police said he was waving a gun in the air and acting erratically.
Meza died blocks away from skid row, which is defined as the area bordered by East 3rd, Alameda, East 7th and South Main streets.
