Overview
- A person was found with a gunshot wound in the 18600 block of Gridley Road near the Chick-fil-A in Cerritos and was taken to a hospital where they were pronounced dead.
- Deputies cordoned the restaurant parking lot and drive-thru area and media aerial footage showed patrol cars and evidence markers as investigators processed the scene.
- The LASD Homicide Bureau has taken over the investigation and has not released information about a suspect, motive, or any arrests.
- Authorities have asked anyone with information to contact the Homicide Bureau tip line at 323-890-5500 to assist the probe.
- Forensic processing at the scene and the public appeal mean investigators are rebuilding the timeline and evidence, and residents should expect follow-up updates as leads develop.
