Full Notification

At approximately 12:30 am, Pico Rivera Sheriff's deputies were patrolling southbound Rosemead Boulevard approaching Shenandoah Street when they witnessed a male Hispanic suspect spray painting a wall on the west side of Rosemead Boulevard.

The Deputies, working a two person patrol car, stopped to contact the suspect. When the suspect saw the deputies, he entered a vehicle facing south, with three other male Hispanic suspects inside.

Despite orders from the deputies to stop, the vehicle drove directly at one of the deputies, at which time a deputy-involved shooting occurred. One suspect was struck in the upper torso and is in critical condition at a local hospital. A second suspect sustained minor injuries from flying broken glass. All four male suspects are being detained and the investigation is on-going.

The deputies were not injured.

Whenever an Officer Involved Shooting occurs involving Los Angeles County Sheriff's deputies and it results in the wounding of a suspect, multiple independent investigations immediately begin at the scene. These include separate investigations by the Office of the Los Angeles County District Attorney in addition to investigations by Sheriff's Homicide Bureau and Internal Affairs Bureau. Attorneys with the Los Angeles Office of Independent Review also respond to the scene and have full access to the facts know to the Sheriff's Department throughout every phase of these investigations. Once concluded, every aspect of the shooting is reviewed by the Sheriff's Executive Force Review Committee.
