A street takeover left at least a half dozen vehicles smashed and a man possibly armed with a gun was taken into custody in the Broadway-Manchester area of South Los Angeles early Monday morning.

A man armed with a firearm was reported just before 3:45 a.m., and he was taken into custody near Colden Avenue and San Pedro Street just before 4 a.m., according to Los Angeles Police Department Officer Drake Madison. It’s unclear if firearms were located, Madison added.

Nearby at about the same time, a street takeover of unknown size resulted in at least one vehicle barrelling down a South Los Angeles street, smashing into about a dozen vehicles before fleeing the scene, police said.

It’s unclear if the allegedly armed man and the street takeover were connected, but witnesses told KTLA’s Kimberly Cheng that a stolen Infiniti that crashed into the vehicles trying to evade police. Madison said this was not a police pursuit.

Cheng added that six cars with visible damage were still on the street later Monday morning, two of which belonged to one neighbor who asked to remain anonymous.

“I think they’re going to be a total loss,” she said.

Further details were not immediately released.

Officials are investigating a fatal shooting in San Pedro, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.

Police said a report of shots fired near 7th Street and Grand Avenue came into the station around 4:38 p.m. on Sunday.
