In an event shrouded with questions, a domestic violence suspect was shot by a Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department deputy in La Puente early Friday morning, as confirmed by a spokesperson for the department. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Homicide detectives are looking into the deputy-involved shooting that unfolded around 1:25 A.M. in the 600 block of Willow Avenue, official sources said.

Deputies responded to what was reported as a domestic disturbance. According to accounts from the scene, a confrontation ensued after the unidentified male suspect did not comply with deputies' instructions. Amidst the turmoil, at least one deputy discharged their weapon, striking the suspect. The man was subsequently transported to a local hospital in an unknown condition, as per details provided by KTLA.

The circumstances leading up to the shooting are still being pieced together by investigators. No further information about the nature of the domestic disturbance or what precipitated the shooting has been made available at this time. The area around Willow Avenue was closed to traffic while the investigation was conducted, with authorities asking anyone with information regarding the incident to come forward.

As part of standard procedure, the incident is subject to multiple independent inquiries. These include examinations by the Sheriff's Homicide Bureau and Internal Affairs Bureau, coupled with oversight from the Office of the Inspector General. Reflecting this, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office will delve into an analysis to ascertain if criminal charges are warranted or if the shooting was legally justified. In a statement obtained by CBS Los Angeles, the public has been urged to reach out to the Sheriff's Homicide Bureau with information that could shed light on the shadowy contours of this event.
