""What transpired in this incident was a tragic series of events put in motion by Lowe and his dangerous and violent actions," the D.A.'s report said. "The fact the officers' actions were taken against a possibly suicidal person who was experiencing a mental break and suffered physical limitations does little to assuage the emotional response to such a tragedy.""
""one of the most challenging, important and sensitive responsibilities our office undertakes,""
Los Angeles County prosecutors announced they will not file charges against Huntington Park officers Paul Munoz and Joshua Volasgis in the 2023 shooting death of Anthony Lowe. Anthony Lowe, a double amputee, was shot while holding a long-bladed knife after police say he had just stabbed another person and attempted to flee. District Attorney Nathan Hochman said prosecutors did not believe they could prove criminal charges at trial and emphasized the difficulty of scrutinizing deadly force. The D.A.'s report characterized the incident as a tragic series of events and noted Lowe may have been suicidal and experiencing a mental break. A wrongful death lawsuit was filed on behalf of Lowe's family.
