The third LAPD officer shot by a wanted parolee in Lincoln Heights last week has been released from the hospital, police said Sunday.
It was not immediately clear if Magana was fatally shot by police or died of a self-inflicted wound after the shootout and lengthy standoff with police.
Around 4 p.m. Wednesday, plainclothes officers from a drug enforcement detail were looking for Magana. They spotted him walking, but then lost sight of him. They called in uniformed officers to help surround an area and asked K-9 officers to assist in searching it, according to police. One dog alerted officers to the downstairs room of what appeared to be a converted multiunit living space that was under construction.
Officers surrounded the unit and called on Magana to surrender. When he didn't, they fired a chemical gas. Magana then opened fire, hitting the three officers, who were pulled to a safe location as other officers shot back, according to police. The wounded officers were taken to a nearby hospital in ambulances.
With the area surrounded, SWAT teams were called in and robots were sent in to keep an eye on the suspect. One, equipped with a video camera, went into the room and found Magana, who wasn't moving.Copyright © 2023 KABC Television, LLC. All rights reserved.
