Man hospitalized after deputy-involved shooting in Norwalk
A man was taken to hospital after being shot by deputies in Norwalk Saturday afternoon.
The incident occurred around 5:40 p.m. near businesses on the 11000 block of Rosecrans Avenue.
Witnesses told KTLA that the man tried to rob a nearby liquor store. Some people in the area say the suspect was refusing to comply with commands from the officers.
Video obtained by KTLA 5 shows several deputies yelling commands at the suspect, who appears to have a rifle in his hands. The suspect repeatedly ducks out of sight, taking cover behind several parked vehicles.
The man suddenly lifts the firearm over his head and after a few words are exchanged, deputies begin shooting at him. They continue moving toward the suspect after firing several rounds.
Viewer discretion is advised for video of the incident.
After being struck by gunfire, the suspect was transferred to a nearby hospital where his condition remains unknown. No other injuries have been reported.
Several witnesses were in the area at the time of the shooting.
“Everybody was just scattering over there,” local resident Chris Zapata told KTLA 5’s Chris Wolfe. “Helicopters telling everybody to get out of the way, because there was a man with a gun over there. Shots started ringing out, just everywhere. It was crazy. You could hear the bullets ricocheting off of cars.”
A bible study group had convened in a nearby building, unaware of the incident happening right outside. They were stunned when they heard shots ringing out just a few feet away from them.”
“During our bible study session, there were gunshots that were going off, there was a helicopter, lights flashing everywhere,” said Cristina Lopez. “It was a moment of fear.”
Rosecrans Avenue was closed between Studebaker Road and Crossdale Avenue as homicide investigators remained on the scene.
The victim’s identity was not released by the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department as the incident remains under investigation.

L.A. Tenants Union trying to save business owner given eviction notice ‘without reason or discussion’
The Los Angeles Tenants Union (LATU) is trying to save a Highland Park business after they say the owner was given 60 days notice to vacate “without any reason or discussion.”
The tenants union says that Junior’s Discount Party Supply, has been owned by Silvia Flores for 20 years and that the store, located on York Boulevard, is “known and loved by thousands of community members who utilize her crucial services for party rentals, general household items and to send money transfers.”
“Her legacy small business has been successful and has supported her family,” LATU says.
That legacy is now at risk, however, as LATU says the building was purchased this past month, meaning Flores and four neighboring businesses were issued 60-day eviction notices.
“[The] 60-day eviction notice [terminates] her tenancy of two decades without reason or discussion,” LATU said in a statement tied to a petition to keep the store open. “Silvia has not violated any clause of her lease nor has she fallen behind on rent payments. In fact, the new property owner has not even introduced himself to the woman who he intends to uproot from her business and the community.”
LATU listed the new owner as Dr. Donald Abrahm and his real estate investment company AEA Investments VIII, LLC. They also said that the idea of pushing out “legacy businesses without a care for people or neighborhood[s]” is nothing new.
“In addition to causing Silvia, a low-income immigrant mother and grandmother, to lose her livelihood, this eviction will further accelerate gentrification in Highland Park. This is just one example of a war on commercial tenants,” the union said. “Displacement of tenants, whether residential or commercial, is an issue that too many of us have faced and we refuse to be complicit. Although this eviction is technically legal, it is unjust and inhumane.”
