Two veteran officers of the Los Angeles Police Department have been fired for the way they responded to a call about a women screaming—who was later found dead, according to a CBSLosAngeles news report.
Officers Rhoadell Sudduth and Alisha Williams did not knock on the door or go inside the apartment where a woman was reportedly heard screaming—the apartment was set on fire 30 minutes later, and the charred remains of UCLA student Andrea DelVesco were found inside.

On September 21, 2015, a neighbor called police and reported that a woman was screaming in a nearby apartment. The caller later told police, in an interview obtained by CNN, about what she heard and how the officers responded:
Caller: “I thought it was coming from downstairs.”
Officer: “Do you know if the officers went and door-knocked downstairs?”
Caller: “Uhm, I talked to him after and he said no.”
