WARNING GRAPHIC!

The Los Angeles Police Department’s Force Investigation Division is investigating an Officer-Involved Shooting that occurred in Southwest Division that involved Harbor Division and Southeast Division officers.

On November 26, 2024, at around 12:17 p.m., Harbor Division uniformed patrol officers responded to a radio call of an Assault with a Deadly Weapon, Domestic Violence suspect in the area of South Gaffey Street and West 19th Street. The comments of the call indicated the victim, a bus driver, was being followed by the suspect, later identified as 37-year-old Aundre Jones, who was armed with a firearm and driving a white Maserati.

The victim and Jones had a prior dating relationship and have a child in common. Harbor Division officers observed Jones’ vehicle and attempted to conduct a traffic stop. Jones fled from the officers, and a vehicle pursuit ensued, which traversed the 110 freeway and terminated when Jones drove his vehicle to the rear of an apartment building in the 3000 block of West Boulevard.

Jones exited his vehicle and walked eastbound down an alley toward the street. Jones then produced two firearms, one in each hand, and pointed them at the officers, resulting in an Officer-Involved Shooting. Jones fired multiple rounds at the officers.

Jones was struck by gunfire and taken into custody without further incident. Officers placed Jones in a recovery position and monitored him until the arrival of Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) personnel, who transported Jones to a local hospital, where he was admitted for his injuries. Jones succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced deceased by medical staff on November 27, 2024.

Two 9mm semi-automatic handguns were recovered next to Jones at the scene. Both handguns were booked as evidence.

A female bystander who approached Jones during the OIS was also struck by gunfire and sustained an injury to her right arm. Officers rendered aid until the arrival of LAFD, who transported her to a local hospital, where she was treated and released for her injury.

No officers or other community members were injured during this incident.

Force Investigation Division investigators responded to the scene and are investigating this incident.

Prayers for the Monmouth police officer who was seriously injured in the line of duty last night. 🙏🏽

BREAKING! California DOJ ends oversight of SFPD reforms, citing ‘substantial’ progress.

After spending seven years overseeing San Francisco police reforms, the California Department of Justice is stepping away from its monitoring role, saying the department has achieved 97% of its recommended goals and can continue to the finish line on its own.

The announcement closes a major chapter in the department’s nearly decade-long reform initiative, which began after a spate of controversial police shootings, including  the 2015 killing of Mario Woods. It’s also a key victory for San Francisco Police Chief Chief Bill Scott, who on Wednesday will begin reporting to a new mayor who will decide whether Scott gets to keep his job.
