Updated Press Release as Follows:

___________________________________________________

Los Angeles County Sheriff's Homicide detectives are continuing to assist Pasadena Police Department with their investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death of a man in the 200 block of East Orange Grove Boulevard, Pasadena.

Detectives have learned that Pasadena Police officers responded to the location regarding a 9-1-1 call.  Upon their arrival at the location, the officers were confronted by a male Black adult who was carrying a large knife under his left arm, and a fire extinguisher is his right hand.

The officers gave verbal commands for the male to drop both items.  The male did not comply, at which time a taser was deployed, causing the male to drop the items.  The male was still not cooperative with the verbal commands given by the officers, and a second taser was deployed, which seemed to have little effect on the male.

Pasadena officers got into a physical struggle with the male, where he still continued to be uncooperative.  The officers applied a hobble restraint around the male’s feet, in order to control his legs.  The male was then taken into custody.

While in custody the suspect went into distress, and stopped breathing.  Pasadena officers immediately started cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) until Pasadena Fire/Paramedics arrived.  Paramedics continued CPR until the suspect was pronounced dead at the scene.

The exact cause of death will be determined by the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner-Coroner.

There is no additional information available at this time, and the investigation is on-going.

Anyone with information about this incident is encouraged to contact the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department's Homicide Bureau at (323) 890-5500.  If you prefer to provide information anonymously, you may call "Crime Stoppers" by dialing (800) 222-TIPS (8477), use your smartphone by downloading the "P3 MOBILE APP" on Google play or the App Store, or by using the website http://lacrimestoppers.org.
