A man whom the Los Angeles Police Department believes was responsible for another shooting was fatally shot by officers in the Westmont neighborhood on Friday morning.

The LAPD said they responded to a radio call of a shooting in the 1100 block of Vermont Avenue around 1 a.m. Comments from the radio call said a man had shot another man and the suspect had fled west on Imperial Avenue.

Police requested additional units in the area. Responding officers found the suspect allegedly armed with a handgun.

The LAPD said officers gave the suspect multiple commands, but he refused to comply, and the suspect was struck by police gunfire.

Paramedics from the LA County Fire Department responded to the scene and pronounced the suspect dead. He was later identified by LAPD officers as 45-year-old Eliar Real Hernandez.

Good! But since this is LEFTIST California, the officers will probably be fired, jailed and the city will pay the family of the ldiot $$$$

And of course the family & their lawyer dispute the incident & demand "justice".
