A double amputee who was armed with a knife and suspected of having stabbed a passerby had experienced a mental crisis hours before Southern California police fatally shot him 11 times last month, his mother tells NBC News.
Dorothy Lowe said her son, Anthony Lowe, awoke on the morning of Jan. 26"agitated and frustrated" at the loss of both his legs, which were amputated last year. He was scheduled to receive his prosthetic legs Monday, but he was experiencing more depressive episodes that caused her to worry he might try to hurt himself.
“I never knew what they said to him, but he came back emotional,” Dorothy said of her son. “Then he wheeled off, and I didn’t see him again.”Huntington Park police declined to comment, citing a pending investigation by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. A spokesman for the sheriff's department did not immediately reply to a request for comment.
In the second video, recorded at a nearby location, Lowe is seen a few blocks away from the gas station in a confrontation with police. An officer appears to flip him out of his wheelchair and onto the sidewalk. Lowe lifts himself onto his lower limbs and begins to scramble away. Police walk after Lowe, who turns toward them and motions over his head as he holds a large knife. Police continue to follow him and then shoot him. He crumbles to the ground before the video cuts out.
"I felt good there’s other people that care, that they see some wrong in this, because this was wrong," said Ebonique Simon, the mother of Lowe's 15-year-old son.
