This is the latest bulletin from the Sheriff's Department regarding the Diamond Bar murder of a man early Tuesday morning.
Deputies are searching for a suspect or suspects, who should be considered armed and dangerous. They apparently fled in the victim's car -- a 2004 silver four-door Mercedes-Benz E320, California license number 5GPF292, Sheriff's Deputy Oscar Butao said.

Reporter Tania Chatila indicates that the killing on Overlook Ridge Road in Diamond Bar is connected in some way to a home invasion robbery in the 1000 block of Overlook Ridge In Diamond Bar. Tania responded to the scene before Sheriff's homicide detectives, so some details are still sketchy.
Here's Tania's dispatch from the scene:
DIAMOND BAR - Los Angeles County Sheriff's homicide detectives are investigating a home-invasion robbery that ended in a death Tuesday morning, according to officials.
A man was killed about 6 a.m. in the 1000 block of Overlook Ridge Road, Deputy Tony Moore said. He nor any other sheriff's deputies at the scene Tuesday would divulge any more details surrounding the death.
Deputies blocked off the street and turned drivers away all morning as they awaited the arrival of homicide detectives.
A department volunteer told neighbors in the area that a "home-invasion robbery" was the reason why residents were being turned away.

SOUTH PASADENA - Two thefts of valuables at city residences reported over the weekend are part of what police are describing as a "rash of burglaries" over the last few weeks.
Cash and jewelery and other small valuables have been the only objects taken in any of the eight recent burglaries reported in the city, according to Corporal Craig Cooper of the South Pasadena Police Department.
"They are going for cash and carry items and ignoring larger items like laptops and cell phones," said Cooper.
He said that in all the cases the burglar entered through an unlocked door in the house.
The two weekend burglaries, which took place on Saturday, were reported on Milan Street and Marengo Street, according to Cooper.
Investigators suspect that the same person or people have been responsible for all the burglaries, said Cooper.
