A man wanted on suspicion of killing one family member and wounding two others was fatally shot by police on the side of a freeway, according to law enforcement officials.
A man wanted on suspicion of killing one family member and wounding two others in a shooting this weekend in Los Angeles was fatally shot by police Tuesday morning on the side of a freeway, according to law enforcement officials.
The California Highway Patrol — which took the lead in investigating the shooting — on Tuesday evening issued a brief statement with few details, saying that a man who was allegedly wanted for homicide had been shot by police. The LAPD said all three victims were related to Medrano and that the shooting was the result of a family dispute. The department would not specify how the parties were related. The LAPD identified the man who died in that shooting as Ruben Marrufo, 61, and those injured as a 51-year-old man, who was in grave condition Tuesday, and a 50-year-old woman, who was in critical condition.
The CHP said its L.A. communications center received a report shortly before 7 a.m. Tuesday of a disabled vehicle on the side of the westbound 105 Freeway, near the exit for the 710 Freeway in Lynwood, and that a responding officer determined that the vehicle was possibly stolen and that the man inside, allegedly Medrano, was wanted.
