Hi SHB Group,
***UPDATE***
Los Angeles County Sheriff's Homicide detectives are continuing their investigation into the circumstances surrounding a Deputy Involved (Hit) Shooting that occurred at about 5:20 P.M. in the 19100 block of Elberland Street, unincorporated West Covina.
Detectives have learned at about 4:57 PM a male called Walnut Sheriff's Station and stated that a man is in his home with a gun demanding money from his mother. The caller also stated that a black car was parked in front of his residence.
Walnut Sheriff's Station deputies responded to the residence in Walnut and observed a black vehicle driving toward them from the location at a high rate of speed. Deputies initiated a pursuit and ended in the area of Nogales Street and La Puente Road in unincorporated West Covina.
The male suspect ran from the vehicle and entered a Bestway Market. The suspect then ran through the back door of the market and into the neighborhood. The suspect ran through several backyards in the neighborhood in an attempt to evade Sheriff's deputies.
The suspect eventually encountered Sheriff's deputies in the 19100 block of Elberland Street, unincorporated West Covina where a Deputy Involved (Hit) Shooting occurred. The suspect was pronounced dead at the scene. A search is underway for evidence and/or a weapon.
A female adult passenger of the suspect's vehicle was taken into custody. Also, a young child who was in the vehicle was taken into protective custody.
There is no additional information at this time.
