Los Angeles, Ca
Knife-wielding man rushes at LAPD officers in tense body cam video
The Los Angeles Police Department has released body camera video of an officer-involved shooting in Boyle Heights earlier this year that left a man hospitalized.
The incident happened in May, when officers responded to a report of an assault with a deadly weapon in the 3000 block Glenn Avenue.
Authorities say Robert Velazquez, 40, came out of the home armed with two knives and a grilling fork and refused to drop the weapons.
Police say he threw a knife toward officers, prompting them to open fire. He then allegedly stood back up, still armed, leading officers to open fire a second time.
Velazquez was taken to a hospital for treatment and later arrested. No officers or bystanders were hurt in the shooting.
A Chino Hills man was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder following a violent incident at a local liquor store, authorities announced Tuesday.
The July 13 incident occurred around 5 p.m. in the 4000 block of Descanso Avenue, according to the San Bernardino Sheriff’s Department, which responded to reports of a stabbing at the location.
Arriving deputies found a stabbing victim inside the store and rendered medical aid until personnel with the Chino Valley Fire District arrived. The victim was transported to Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center, where he remains in stable condition.
While being treated at the scene, investigators said the victim repeatedly stated that someone named Alex was responsible for the attack.
The suspect, now identified as Hayden Alexander Marquez, 30, was located not far from the liquor store and taken into custody, sheriff’s officials said.
Investigators did not provide a motive for the stabbing or detail the relationship between the two men.
Marquez was booked into the West Valley Detention Center on suspicion of attempted murder.
Anyone with information about the investigation is urged to contact the Chino Hills Police Station at 909-364-2000. Those wishing to remain anonymous can call the We-Tip hotline at 800-78-CRIME or submit tips online at www.wetip.com.
