LAPD releases bodycam of shooting involving Weezer member’s wife

They shot me on my own property! |
The LAPD released bodycam footage showing the moments before police shot Jillian Lauren Shriner, wife of Weezer bassist Scott Shriner, during a confrontation in the Los Angeles foothill suburb of Eagle Rock on April 8, 2025, just before Weezer was to play the first weekend of Coachella 2025.
According to the LAPD, California Highway Patrol (CHP) requested assistance pursuing three hit-and-run suspects who fled into a residential area near the 134 Freeway and Figueroa Street.
LAPD officers were searching for the suspects in the backyards of an Eagle Rock neighborhood. As they were searching the backyard of one residence, Shriner was seen in the yard of a neighboring house armed with a 9mm handgun, the LAPD claim.
- [LAPD policy is to challenge and mistreat anyone with a gun, legal or otherwise, in spite of their constitutional rights to have and hold such a weapon. If police claim a citizen "aimed" or even "brandished" the firearm, or it looked that way to them, that person is suddenly a felony suspect who must be taken down even if that means a hail of bullets from the guns they freely wield and aim at citizens as they like.]
The footage shows cops peering over a fence and demanding, multiple times, that Shriner put her [legal] gun down before several shots are fired.
Shriner was wounded on the shoulder and retreated back into her house. In a 911 call made by Shriner after the shooting, she can be heard telling the operator she believed she was defending herself against the fleeing suspects.
Shriner was eventually forced to exit her house and was taken into custody and to a local hospital for a non-life-threatening gunshot wound.
She was absentee booked for attempted murder, released from custody after posting bail, and was scheduled to appear in court on April 30, 2025.
No officers or community members were injured in the incident. It was later determined Shriner was “uninvolved in the hit-and-run and lived at the residence where she was observed,” police admitted.
One hit-and-run suspect was detained by CHP, but two other suspects escaped and got away and were never located, police stated.
