The divorce filing comes months after Lauren Shriner announced on Instagram in March that she had been diagnosed with cancer. She later revealed that she underwent two consecutive surgeries, including a total hysterectomy.
On April 8, Lauren Shriner was shot and killed by police near her husband’s home in the Eagle Rock neighborhood of Los Angeles. At the time, a search was underway for three suspects suspected of being involved in a hit-and-run incident that had fled into the Shriners’ neighborhood.
Police said Lauren Shriner was not involved in the hit-and-run, but was armed and fired at officers who were in the backyard. “She repeatedly ignored police commands to disarm and fired at LAPD officers,” LAPD spokeswoman Jennifer Forkish told PEOPLE at the time.
A arriving police officer then shot Lauren Shriner once in the shoulder, and she was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.

She was later arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and released on $1 million bail.
She was later charged with assault and negligent discharge of a firearm, and was admitted to a diversion program rather than jail due to mental health issues, according to court documents obtained by PEOPLE.
