Full Notification

Los Angeles County Sheriff's Homicide investigators are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding a deputy-involved shooting. The incident occurred Tuesday, October 6, 2020, at approximately 12:40 p.m., in the 7300 block of Rosecrans Avenue in Paramount.

Deputies assigned to Lakewood’s Paramount Sub-Station responded to a suspicious person call at Paramount Boulevard and Rosecrans Avenue in Paramount. When a deputy arrived, he spotted a suspect wanted in connection with a felony vandalism call from earlier in the day.

When he stopped to make contact with the suspect, the suspect produced a large piece of metal and threw it at the deputy striking the hood of his patrol vehicle and glancing off his windshield, narrowly missing the deputy. The suspect threw several other items at the deputy, and a deputy involved shooting occurred. The suspect was wounded by deputy gunfire.

The suspect fled on Rosecrans Avenue and was taken into custody moments later by responding deputies who used less lethal.      

The suspect was transported to a local hospital to be treated for non-life threatening injuries.

No deputies were injured.

There is no additional information available at this time.

Whenever a deputy-involved shooting occurs involving Los Angeles County Sheriff's deputies, and a person is struck by gunfire, multiple independent investigations immediately begin at the scene.  These include separate investigations by the Sheriff's Homicide Bureau and Internal Affairs Bureau.  The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department immediately notifies the Office of the Inspector General who sends a representative to the incident scene and provides independent oversight throughout the investigative process.  Once concluded, a preliminary review is conducted by the Critical Incident Review Panel to determine whether any immediate actions are warranted.  Every aspect of the shooting is reviewed by the Sheriff's Executive Force Review Committee.  Input from Constitutional Policing Advisors is provided during the process.  The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office, Justice System Integrity Division, conducts a legal analysis to determine whether any criminal charges will be filed and if the shooting was legally justified.
