Meneley was shot and killed by Seattle Police around 3 p.m. on April 17 at the DoubleTree on Southcenter Parkway.
Body camera video released last week by Seattle Police showed an operation to confront 67-year-old Meneley, who was suspected of child sex crimes. Officers came out of a hotel room to approach him, and appeared on bodycam video to pull out a gun from his jacket.
All three officers unloaded on him, firing around 30 shots.
Instead, three Seattle officers were waiting inside the hotel room. When police opened the door and began identifying themselves, Meneley began taking out a gun.
A Seattle Police officer who was part of the sting operation was hit in the leg during the shooting.
