The suspect faced the officers, removed a dark object from his waistband area and quickly pointed it at them, resulting in an Officer-Involved Shooting. Officers rendered medical aid to the suspect until the arrival of Los Angeles Fire Department personnel, who after assuming care, transported him to a local hospital, where he was pronounced deceased. The object the suspect pointed at the officers at the time of the shooting was later determined to be a cellphone.
