One person dies after a motorist rear-ends the vehicle of a robbery suspect – Telemundo 52

A driver who was allegedly robbed in the West Adams area of ​​Los Angeles rear-ended a vehicle carrying the suspects, killing one of them, authorities said Sunday.

The crash happened at 5:28 p.m. Saturday at Adams Boulevard and West View Street, said Officer Tony Im of the Los Angeles Police Department.

The driver of the vehicle carrying the suspected robbers, a man in his 30s, was pronounced dead at the scene, Im said.

Police said the victim and at least two passengers were inside a vehicle fleeing the scene after they allegedly robbed a 21-year-old man, who got into a vehicle to chase them. The alleged robbery victim eventually rear-ended the second vehicle, causing it to crash into a light pole, killing the motorist.

Two passengers inside that vehicle got out and shot the driver, police said. The two then got into another vehicle and sped away in an unknown direction.

The 21-year-old man remained at the scene and awaited police arrival, the Los Angeles Police Department’s Media Relations Section said. It was not immediately clear whether he was arrested.
