The 27-year-old was shot in front of her 9-year-old daughter on December 4 after deputies responded to a domestic violence call at an apartment in Lancaster.
The L.A. County Sheriff's Department claims she was threatening her ex-boyfriend with a knife. The department later released video of the shooting.
In a 911 audio clip released by the sheriff's department, Finlayson is heard telling the dispatcher that the man "won't get of my house" and "he will not leave me alone."
"I need the police here right now. No, cause he won't get his hands off of me," Finlayson says, as she apparently argues with a man in the background.

The L.A. County District Attorney's Office is conducting its own independent review of the shooting.
Finlayson's family says the shooting was unjustified and has begun the process of suing the department and county for $30 million.
