Authorities Tuesday identified a man who was killed in an officer-involved shooting in Reseda.
Daniel Carver, 29, died at the scene of the shooting, which occurred about 10:30 a.m. Monday in the 6500 block of Corbin Avenue, said coroner’s Assistant Chief Ed Winter. His home town was not known.
Two officers were injured in the confrontation. One was treated at a hospital for a knee injury, and the other was treated at a hospital for scrapes and bruises, said Los Angeles Police Department Capt. Patricia Sandoval.
A weapon was recovered at the scene, but it was unclear if the suspect fired at the officers, Sandoval said.
The two Topanga Station officers were in a patrol car in the area when they began chasing Carver, who was driving an SUV, after they received a “LoJack hit” that indicated the vehicle had been reported stolen, Sandoval said.
They chased the SUV for about seven minutes, and Carver got out of the vehicle and ran off, followed by the officers on foot, Sandoval said.
The shooting occurred about two to five minutes into the foot chase, Sandoval said. It was unclear if both officers fired, Sandoval said.
Traffic was routed away from the area while an investigation was conducted.
