Portions of Wilshire Boulevard and Vermont Avenue in Koreatown remained closed today as police continued to investigate a fatal officer-involved shooting of a man suspected in two carjackings.
Officers chased the suspect, a man in his 20s, through parts of Los Angeles for more than an hour Thursday after a witness reported a carjacking at a gas station at Eastern Avenue and Valley Boulevard in El Sereno at 6:16 p.m., said Sgt. Karla Barraza of the Los Angeles Police Department's Hollenbeck Station.
