Authorities were searching for an assault with a deadly weapon suspect who holed up overnight inside a home in Paramount, authorities said Saturday.
The incident was first reported at about 11:55 p.m. Friday in the 8200 block of Alhambra Avenue, just north of the Glen Anderson (105) Freeway, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
Personnel from the sheriff’s Special Enforcement Bureau were dispatched to the scene to assist deputies from the Lakewood station. SEB personnel assumed tactical command and a Crisis Negotiation Team was dispatched to the scene.
SEB personnel cleared the home at about 8:30 a.m. Saturday but did not find the suspect, authorities said.
No further information about the alleged assault was immediately available, and sheriff’s officials did not have a suspect description as of midday.
Anyone with information regarding the suspect was urged to call the sheriff’s Lakewood station at 562-623-3500. Tipsters who prefer to remain anonymous can call Crime Stoppers at 800-222-8477 or visit lacrimestoppers.org.
