San Gabriel police fatally shoot man after pursuit ends in Rosemead
San Gabriel police shot and killed a man Wednesday night after he failed to stop for a traffic violation and led them on a short vehicle pursuit that ended in the city of Rosemead, officials said.
Officers attempted to pull over the driver of a 2015 Jeep sometime before 9 p.m., the San Gabriel police said in a news release. The driver did not stop and led police on a short pursuit.
The chase ended in the 600 block of Charlotte Avenue in Rosemead, where the shooting occurred, according to police. The driver, whose name has not been released, died at the scene. Two officers were involved in the shooting, according to police.
It’s unclear what prompted the shooting.
Video from OnScene.TV showed officers from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department and the Alhambra Police Department at the scene. The pursuit ended on a dead-end street, which remained closed off to the public for several hours.
The California Department of Justice is leading the investigation and the San Gabriel Police Department is cooperating with the investigation and in a statement said they are “limited in the information it can share at this time.”
