around 2:05 p.m., Los Angeles Police Officers were in the area of West 113th Street and Compton Avenue, when they saw a known suspect, wanted for Child Abduction. The suspect, 36-year-old Osmin Briseno, was known to carry firearms. Officers attempted a traffic stop on Briseno’s vehicle, however; he suddenly fled at a high rate of speed. A short vehicle pursuit ensued, terminating on the east 105 Freeway on-ramp at Central Avenue. Briseno exited his vehicle holding a backpack. The officers repeatedly commanded Briseno not to reach inside the backpack, which he ignored.
Briseno led officers on a foot pursuit, running west toward Central Avenue. As he reached Central Avenue, Briseno suddenly stopped, faced a pursuing officer, and reached inside the backpack, resulting in an Officer-Involved Shooting. Briseno was struck by gunfire and fell to the pavement, where he was taken into custody.
Briseno was transported to a local hospital, where he received treatment for gunshot wounds. Briseno was absentee booked for an unrelated Assault with a Deadly Weapon with a Firearm crime report and other outstanding felony warrants. No firearms were located at the scene. No officers or community members were injured during this incident.
