1 dead after armed robbery at luxury high-rise in DTLA
A person was fatally shot during a robbery at a downtown Los Angeles high-rise apartment building Monday afternoon.
Just after 4:30 p.m., three men armed with guns entered an apartment at 1000 W. 8th St., according to Officer Miller of the Los Angeles Police Department.
That address corresponds to the luxury high-rise Thea at Metropolis, which was the site of another fatal shooting nearly two years ago.
This time, the robbers demanded property from the victim, who was then fatally shot after an argument, Miller said. The identity of the victim has not been released.
Two of the robbers fled on foot, while the third fled in a vehicle, police said.
