1 dead in Montebello officer-involved shooting

Detectives in Montebello investigated an officer-involved shooting Thursday afternoon that occurred in the 200 block of Victoria Avenue.

An individual was taken to the hospital where he died, according to law enforcement officials.

Montebello police say officers were sent to investigate a report of a disturbance in the area of 2nd Street and Victoria Avenue at about 1:30 p.m. The first officer to arrive saw a man, described as a 49-year-old Hispanic male adult, walking with a weapon, later identified as a shotgun, and requested backup, according to the Montebello Police Department.
