A procession was held this morning from St. Francis Medical Center in Lynwood to the coroner's office for the fallen LAPD officer who was killed while off-duty during what is believed to be an armed robbery attempt in Walnut Park. 🕊️🙏🏻
The shooting happened near 87th and Beach streets around 9:16 p.m., according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, which is investigating the incident.
Investigators say a black pickup truck approached the victim and three suspects got out. Some type of argument ensued before an exchange of gunfire, in which the victim was struck. Officials said the officer was with a friend at the time. Chief Michel Moore said two guns were found at the scene - one belonging to the officer and the other believed to have been dropped by the suspects.
Responding L.A. County sheriff's deputies transported the off-duty officer in their own patrol car to St. Francis Medical Center in Lynwood, where he was pronounced dead. The name of the police officer was not immediately released, but officials described him as young. Today we grieve the loss of a young officer who was murdered while off duty. As we mourn his tragic loss, we ask that you keep his family and partners in your thoughts and prayers.
