Man shot and killed by deputies in Lake Los Angeles area ID’d

by City News Service • May 1, 2021

LAKE LOS ANGELES – A man shot to death by sheriff’s deputies Thursday in the Lake Los Angeles area has been publicly identified as 64-year-old Alfredo Aceves of Lake Los Angeles.

Aceves died at the scene of the shooting, which occurred around 11:05 a.m. Thursday, April 29, in the 39400 block of 167th Street East, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. No deputies were injured.

Deputies responded to the area about 8:40 a.m. to a call of an assault with a deadly weapon in progress, with callers indicating the suspect was pointing a rifle and shooting at vehicles, according to the department.

When deputies arrived, they talked with multiple victims who described the suspect and indicated he was armed with a rifle or shotgun and had opened fire on vehicles.

A sheriff’s SWAT team was called to the scene to find him. At some point during their search, Aceves walked out of a structure in the area holding what appeared to be a rifle or shotgun, and deputies shot him, the department said.

Paramedics were called to the scene and attempted life-saving measures, but Aceves was pronounced dead.

The coroner’s office reported Aceves died at a residence.

Deputies recovered an object that resembled the barrel of a rifle, but upon further examination, determined it was not a firearm and did not appear to be capable of firing a projectile. It will be further examined by firearms experts, the department said.
