Full Notification

Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Homicide detectives are continuing their investigation into the circumstances surrounding a deputy-involved hit shooting that occurred at 5200 block of Corona Avenue, Maywood, at approximately 2:31 p.m., on Saturday, June 11, 2016.

Homicide detectives have learned that East Los Angeles Station deputies responded to the 5200 block of Corona Avenue, Maywood, regarding a "Family Disturbance" call.

Upon arrival at the location, deputy personnel were contacted by family members who told them the suspect was inside of the location. Deputy personnel went inside and made contact with the suspect at his bedroom door. The deputies saw the suspect was armed with a homemade spear.

The deputies applied less than lethal force which was unsuccessful in disarming the suspect. The suspect lunged at the deputies, and one deputy fired his duty weapon, striking the suspect numerous times in the upper torso.

The suspect was treated by paramedics and transported to a local hospital where he succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead.

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