In the chaotic last moments of John Berry’s life, Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies attempted to pull him from his car and shot him with a Taser as a woman screamed at them to stop. Then came the gunfire that sprayed the windshield of his BMW . Minutes later, the 31-year-old was pronounced dead at the scene — the curb just outside his Lakewood home.
