The suspect was arrested after a nearly 8-hour standoff with LAPD officers and SWAT.
The suspect in a deadly shooting in Jefferson Park on Saturday afternoon was arrested following a lengthy standoff involving SWAT, police said. Los Angeles Police Department officers said that they were called to the area, a home in the 2300 block of W.
23rd Street, near Cimarron Street and Gramercy Place, after receiving reports of shots fired. The person who called 911 told police that a man had been shot by an unknown gunman and was lying in the front yard of a home on the street. Upon arrival, officers found the victim, who was declared dead at the scene. They haven't yet been identified. Police say that as they approached the victim, the suspect, who was barricaded inside of a home, began to fire at them. They returned fire, but it's unclear if the suspect was struck by gunfire, police said. A SWAT team was called to the area, which was blocked off from the public for several hours as the standoff continued. Police said that the suspect was arrested shortly after 9 p.m. without further incident. Police haven't identified the suspect or a motive in the initial shooting. No other injuries were reported. SkyCal flew over the scene while it was still ongoing on Saturday afternoon, where multiple BearCat vehicles could be seen both in front of and behind the home. Some officers, including K9 units, stood behind the armored vehicles while a robot was used to look through the windows of the property.
