Steven Hernandez, a 23-year-old Latino, was shot and killed by Huntington Park police officers Saturday, Feb. 7, at 6515 Albany St. in Huntington Park, according to authorities.
Hernandez fled from a car that was stopped by Huntington Park police officers because it matched the description of the vehicle involved in a robbery, said Lt. Dan Rosenberg of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, which is investigating the case.
“The officers became involved in a foot pursuit, and during this time, additional officers responded,” he said. “They were setting up a perimeter containment, and at some point Mr. Hernandez emerged out between a house and actually began to run onto Albany Street. It was at that time he was shot by two veteran Huntington Park officers.”
Rosenberg said it was not clear why Hernandez, who was in the vehicle with two women and a man, decided to run.
