Short filmTranscript
00:00This is Sergeant Morales. I work for the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
00:03I got your number from the fire department over here at South Pasadena.
00:07They had told me that you had called for Vanessa Marquez.
00:11And then you called them and you told them that you had a friend who lives in South Pasadena.
00:14Yeah, I needed help.
00:19Vanessa, South Pasadena Police Department, come to the door.
00:2410-4, shots fired, shots fired.
00:26She's down, hold on.
00:27Is she down?
00:28She's down.
00:29Is she down?
00:30She's down.
00:30I don't know.
00:36We've all been very close since the film and we see each other all the time.
00:40So this is our first family member that we've lost.
00:43The camaraderie started on the set.
00:45These are like my crazy siblings.
00:47We would intertwine in each other's lives.
00:49We have come to a place, you know, in Hollywood where there is more inclusion,
00:53where there is more representation.
00:55But it was people like Vanessa who opened that door.
00:57Justice for Vanessa Marquez begins today.
01:02They went in to help her and they carried her out in a stretcher.
01:06What we did as Vanessa's cast family was trying to give her value.
01:14And I'm here to announce the filing of a claim against the city of South Pasadena and its officers.
01:21The paramedics didn't show up at first, it was the police.
01:24That's the last group of people she wanted to see in her lair.
01:29There's something wrong with that picture.
01:31And the whole premise that they say for being there is that they were doing a welfare check on her.
01:38What did it break down?
01:39I don't think there was a breakdown.
01:41I don't believe that for a second.
01:43This is the only time I've ever heard it just taking more than a few minutes to make these decisions.
01:48All they had to do was leave.
01:54Say her name!
01:55Vanessa Marquez!
01:57Say her name!
01:58Vanessa Marquez!
