Los Angeles, California — On May 5, 2026, at around 12:44 p.m., Mission Patrol Division uniformed officers responded to an additional unit request from Mission Area Narcotics Enforcement Detail (NED) officers who observed a suspect, later identified as 21-year-old Jason Vega, wanted for outstanding warrants. When the officers contacted Vega, he fled on foot, onto the embankment of the eastbound 210 Freeway. Vega then ran across the 210 freeway where he attempted to carjack a pickup truck that was travelling west on the freeway. The officers again contacted Vega, who was observed to be armed with a handgun. Numerous commands were given to Vega to drop the firearm, which he refused to comply with, resulting in an Officer-Involved Shooting. Vega fell to the ground, disregarded officer’s commands, and moved toward his firearm. The officers used an intermediate force option to gain compliance from Vega and he was taken into custody. Vega was transported by rescue ambulance to Olive View Medical Center, where he was treated and medically cleared for booking. A Glock handgun, Model 22, 40-caliber was recovered at the scene and booked as evidence. No community members or officers were injured as a result of this incident.

Sun 18 Jan 2026 19:42:00 +0200

Los Angeles police on Wednesday shot and killed a man who was violently assaulting his father with scissors at a home in Lake Balboa, authorities said. Both men were pronounced dead at the scene. Officers initially responded to the home in the 17200 block of Valerio Street, just east of Louise Avenue, around 8:10 a.m. after receiving a report of a man suffering from a mental health issue, according to the Los Angeles Police Department. The suspect "was an adult son who had been violent towards family members in the past," the LAPD said in a statement on social media. Upon arrival at the home, officers "heard a fight coming from inside the residence," the statement said. Police forced their way into the home and "saw the suspect assaulting the victim which resulted in an OIS," police said, using an acronym for an officer-involved shooting. The suspect was struck by gunfire and detained by officers, who rendered medical aid to him and the victim, who suffered apparent stab wounds, according to authorities. Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics arrived and pronounced both the victim and the suspect dead at the scene. The names of the father and son were not immediately released. Authorities said this was an isolated incident and there is no threat to the public. Investigators recovered a pair of scissors that was used by the suspect during the assault, the LAPD said. No officers or other civilians were injured. Video from AIR7 showed at least half a dozen patrol vehicles and an LAPD mobile command center at the scene, on a residential street in the San Fernando Valley. Connor Burks said he just moved in across the street from the house where the shooting happened. "I definitely would want to be there for, whoever is still living over there and like maybe be there for them and stuff," Burks said.
