UPDATE #LASD Shooting Death Investigation, 200 blk East 121st Street, Los Angeles 
Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Homicide Bureau detectives are continuing their investigation into the circumstances surrounding the shooting death of a man that occurred at approximately 6:30 PM in the 200 block of East 121st Street, Los Angeles.
Detectives have learned that the victim was involved in a traffic collision with the suspect at the corner of Main Street and El Segundo Boulevard, Los Angeles.
After the collision, the victim contacted the suspect in an attempt to exchange information. The suspect refused and demanded the victim pay $500 for damage to his vehicle.
At the same time, the butt of a firearm was seen by the victim and the victim drove away, towards his home. The suspect followed the victim home and confronted the victim at gunpoint at his house and again, demanded the $500. The victim refused to pay and the suspect drove away.
About one hour later, the suspect returned to the victim’s house and saw the victim in his vehicle in his driveway. The suspect walked up to the victim and fired multiple rounds, striking the victim in the upper torso. The suspect ran eastbound on 121st Street, towards San Pedro and out of sight.
