Woman is screaming inside her apt in celebration of Knick's win, LAPD kill her Doodle [View all]

Family dog shot and killed by LAPD during Knicks celebration at condo in Canoga Park


Raymon Alvarez, who lives across the street, said he heard the screaming while heading out for a walk.

"The screaming I heard was like, 'Ah! Oh my God! Oh my God!' Like just, pure screaming," Alvarez said.

When he returned home, he said he heard gunfire.

"I didn't think they were gunshots at first because this area is not really known for any sort of gun violence," Alvarez said.

The dog owner's son told Eyewitness News off-camera that his mother had simply been celebrating the Knicks' championship win and that Jameson was energetic but not violent.

"He's such a good dog!" the woman can be heard screaming in the video from the scene.

Now, a memorial is growing in the hallway where neighbors watched Jameson die.

The neighbor who called police told Eyewitness News off-camera that they they feel guilty for calling 911, but sincerely thought their neighbor was in trouble.
