Gardena shooting victim identified
Not sure if we'll have more on this - it stems from Friday's fatal officer-involved shooting in Carson. The burglary suspect shot and killed by Gardena officers is Wilson Victorian, the Associated Press reported Saturday, citing coroner officials.
Here's their brief story:
CARSON, Calif. (AP) - A 59-year-old man shot and killed by Gardena police after a chase into the neighboring city of Carson has been identified.
The Los Angeles County Coroner's office says Wilson Victorian of Compton was pronounced dead at the scene Friday.
Los Angeles County sheriff's Sgt. Diane Hecht says when officers responded to a burglary in progress call at a business, Victorian's truck sped away. After a chase, officers opened fire and Victorian was killed.
Hecht declined to say what precipitated the shooting or to identify the officers involved.
Sheriff's homicide detectives are assisting Gardena police in the investigation. The Los Angeles County District Attorney's office is also investigating
