California Self-Defense: Compton Homeowner Shoots Man Attempting to Rob Him at Knifepoint :: 12/07/2021

A man was fatally shot Tuesday as he was allegedly attempting to rob someone at knifepoint in Compton, the second fatal shooting in as many days in that city.

Deputies were sent to the 1500 block of West 156th Street at about 6:15 a.m. Tuesday on a report of an attempted robbery and a shooting, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department reported.

"Upon their arrival they located a male Hispanic adult, in his 30s, suffering from several gunshot wounds to the upper torso,'' a sheriff's statement said. "Investigators learned that the homeowner exited his residence and was getting into his vehicle in the driveway. The homeowner was confronted by the male Hispanic adult who was holding a knife in an apparent attempted robbery.''

The homeowner then shot the suspect, who died at the scene, the sheriff's department reported. His name was withheld, pending notification of his relatives. The resident was interviewed by detectives, and a firearm and knife were recovered at the scene.
