March 4, 2025 Officer-Involved Shooting in Rampart Division *The following information is based on a preliminary and ongoing investigation, which continues to evolve as investigators interview witnesses, review physical and electronic records, and analyze forensic evidence. The Department’s understanding of the facts and circumstances may change as additional evidence is collected and analyzed* Los Angeles: On March 3, 2025, at approximately 3:58 p.m., the mother of the suspect, later identified as Hector Alaniz, called 911 to report that her son was suffering from mental illness and may be a danger to others. Both Rampart and Northeast Patrol Division officers responded to her location, at the 2400 block of Bellevue Avenue. As resources arrived at the location, an additional family member of the suspect directed officers to Alaniz. As officers approached Alaniz they gave him verbal commands to surrender. Alaniz instead fled the location, leading officers on a short foot pursuit eastbound Bellevue Avenue from Coronado Street. Alaniz was armed with what appeared to be a black pistol. As Alaniz entered a driveway at the 2400 block of Bellevue Avenue, he turned and pointed the pistol at officers resulting in the discharge of a 40mm Less-Lethal Launcher (LLL) and an Officer-Involved Shooting (OIS) occurred. Alaniz then fled on foot resulting in a second discharge of a 40mm LLL. Despite the suspect being struck by both gunfire and 40mm LLL projectiles, he again continued to flee until an officer discharged a TASER, incapacitating Alaniz, allowing officers to take him into custody without further incident. Alaniz was transported by a Los Angeles Fire Department rescue ambulance to a local hospital for treatment of a gunshot wound to his right arm. No officers or other community members were injured during this incident. A black airsoft gun resembling a Glock semiautomatic pistol was recovered at the scene of the OIS and booked as evidence. Force Investigation Division (FID) investigators responded to the scene and are investigating this incident.
