LOS ANGELES — LAPD officers shot and killed a robbery suspect who police say fired at them during a chase that ended on the northbound 405 Freeway in Westchester early Friday, June 5.
Officers were called around 4:15 a.m. to a robbery on Manchester Avenue, where a cab driver said a man threatened him with a gun. The suspect fled and fired at the officers chasing him, then stopped along the center divider near Howard Hughes Parkway and got out with a handgun, police said.
The man did not follow commands and was shot, police said. He was taken to a hospital, where he died. Officers recovered a loaded 9 mm ghost gun, and no officers or bystanders were hurt.
The northbound 405 was closed for hours. LAPD's Force Investigation Division is investigating.
