- Man whose rampage led to fatal police shooting will face second murder trial
Gene Evin Atkins will face a second murder trial for the death of Melyda Corado, killed by a stray police bullet during his 2018 rampage outside a Trader Joe’s in Silver Lake. Prosecutors argue her death was a 'natural and probable consequence' of Atkins’ actions, while his defense claims it was the LAPD’s fault.
