21-year-old Danielle Willard was shot to death almost a week ago during a West Valley Police investigation. It happened in the parking lot at the Lexington Park apartments near 2200 West and 3700 South.
On Wednesday, tenants snapped photos of West Valley cops back in the parking lot where Willard was killed. Tenants say police were re-creating the shooting to try and get more answers.
According to Willard’s mother, police haven’t told her why they used deadly force but have said Willard wasn’t armed.
“The detective confirmed that. There was not a weapon on her person and they had done an inventory of the car and haven’t found any kind of weapon there either,” said Kennedy.
A plain clothes detective wasn’t shot but was injured. Police haven’t said the nature of the injury. Willard’s body was found on the passenger side of her Subaru. Witnesses told her mother someone else was driving, a man who ran off. West Valley Police won’t comment on the investigation but Kennedy says detectives told her Willard was by herself.
“The detectives say she was driving,” said Kennedy.
Meanwhile, it’s unclear why a red SUV was butted perpendicular against Willard’s car. Police haven’t said if an accident led to the officer’s injury but in video taken the night of the shooting, the truck appeared unscathed. When FOX 13 cameras filmed the same vehicle Tuesday, it barely had a scratch on it.
“All I know about that is the guy who owns the vehicle says he was at work at the time, his wife did not move the vehicle and they have no idea how that vehicle got behind hers,” said Kennedy.
