Deputies claim that the man fired shots at them as he attempted to flee from a home where they were called for reports of domestic violence.
Deputies shot and killed a man during an alleged shootout in Huntington Park early Tuesday morning. They were called to the 1500 block of E. 77th Place at around 1:30 a.m. after receiving reports of a domestic violence incident, according to a statement from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. The victim, who investigators identified as the suspect's ex-girlfriend, said that the man was at her residence and that he had a gun, the statement said.
He was located a short distance away, in the 7600 block of Compton Avenue, where he allegedly tried to elude deputies, LASD's statement claimed. 'The suspect attempted to flee, produced a handgun, and fired at deputies, at which point a deputy-involved shooting occurred,' the statement said. The man, who has still not been identified, was declared dead at the scene. No other injuries were reported in the incident. Deputies say that they recovered a handgun at the scene.
