Police Tuesday were investigating the death of a 32-year-old man who was found on a sidewalk in downtown Los Angeles.
Los Angeles Police Department officers responded at 1:30 a.m. Tuesday to Broadway just west of Third Street, where they found the victim lying on the sidewalk, LAPD Officer Charles Miller told City News Service.
Paramedics with the Los Angeles Fire Department pronounced him dead at the scene, police said. His cause of death was not immediately known.
The man was identified by the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office as Nicholas Mahmoodiyeh.
It was not immediately clear whether the death was connected to ongoing immigration protests that have taken place in the downtown area over the past four days.
