LAPD: Teen killed by officers wanted to commit 'suicide by cop'...
The teenager fatally shot by police in South L.A. over the weekend left a farewell note to his family before the encounter and appears to have wanted to end his life, Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck said Thursday.
Daniel Perez, 16, died Sunday afternoon after a confrontation with officers in the 4500 block of Ascot Avenue. Police said he was holding an item disguised to look like a gun. The orange tip of the item had been painted black to resemble an actual handgun.
Shortly before Perez’s encounter with officers, a 911 caller told operators that a man with a gun was in the area, which prompted the police response.
Teen killed by police in South LA wanted to ?end his own life,? LAPD chief says
