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.

Investigators suspect that the same person or people have been responsible for all the burglaries, said Cooper.
