Dramatic police bodycam video shows the moment former “ER” actress Vanessa Marquez was gunned down by police during a “welfare” check on the actress in California.
The video, published by TMZ Tuesday, opens with an unidentified police officer trying to coax Marquez to go to the hospital in August 2018 after her South Pasadena landlord raised concerns about her wellbeing.
Marquez, 49, who said she had a seizure, is seen sitting on a disheveled bed and looking down at her mobile phone while the cop pleads with her.
“We’ve already had this discussion and it’s beyond that now, OK?” the cop says.
“I’m not going,” the actress replies.
Things then take a dramatic turn when Marquez is seen reaching under the covers.

Welfare check. Well...fare thee well.
Sounds like suicide by cop.
Welfare check complete, she’s not well.
Her welfare went downhill pretty quickly.
Well, I guess that her time had come. Police did there job extremely well.
Welfare check............She’s dead...............
Make sure to wear gloves so there are no finger prints. Oh, wait. Forgot about the body cam.
ER was decent.
My wife was a big fan.
Sounds like the cops should have got out the house.
I remember when police officers used to just wait people like out, and denied drama they tended to just give up or rethink things after a couple of days. Sometimes they overdosed or shot themselves, but usually they changed their mind as several days went buy.
I think that the old way (while not perfect) was much better.
Yeah in the old days they didn’t drive up in MRAPS and upfitted Hummers.
Can’t fault the cops.. they withdrew and warned her to drop the weapon. Unfortunately for her, she drew it instead of dropping it.
She was strung out on something already or gravely ill. If they'd left her alone, she probably would have finished the job without the cops.

That was way back when your house was your castle. Now they just bust in and order you around and shoot you if you resist.
Wow. I might have been able to put up with a lot of crazy from that.
Exactly... Just think how much money they’ll save by not checking on her welfare anymore.
Watched the tape... It was overkill. Period! A warning shot would have been useful, but instead the officer just opens up and fires his weapon 5 or 6 times.
