On July 16, 2019, around 6:43
p.m., LAPD, uniformed patrol officers, assigned to Rampart Division
responded to a disturbance radio call of a "man with a knife" at a
residence located on the 300 block of north Commonwealth Avenue in Los
Angeles. When the officers arrived at the residence, they located the
suspect (who was later identified as 49-year old, Herbert Vasquez)
inside the rear bedroom of the apartment and refused to exit. As the
officers were in the process of trying to de-escalate the situation,
they opened the bedroom door at which time Vasquez armed with a machete
advanced towards the officers, resulting in an OIS. Simultaneously the
officers used a less lethal option. Vasquez then fled out the bedroom
window and ran westbound from Commonwealth Avenue and entered a 7-11
convenience store.
The officers surrounded Vasquez inside the store and again attempted to
verbalize with him but he refused to comply with the officers commands.
The officers used a second less lethal device which aided the officers
in taking Vasquez into custody without further incident. It was observed
that Vasquez had injuries to fingers on both hands but it was unknown
at the time if those injuries were the result of the OIS. The Los
Angeles Fire Department paramedics responded to the scene and
transported Vasquez to a local hospital for medical treatment. A knife
was located at scene and booked as evidence. Fortunately, no officers or
innocent bystanders were injured during this incident. Donate to PoliceActivity: https://www.patreon.com/PoliceActivity
