Los Angeles: On December 2, 2014, around 6:50 p.m., Central Area officers received a radio call of a “Screaming woman” in the 600 block of Wall Street.
When they arrived at the apartment, the officers heard a woman screaming that she was being stabbed and needed help. The officers forced entry into the apartment and observed the suspect, later identified as Isaac Ricks, stabbing a female victim multiple times. An officer involved shooting then occurred.
Los Angeles Fire Department Paramedics responded to the scene and transported Ricks to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Additionally, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Justice System Integrity Division will conduct a comprehensive review of the facts of the officer-involved-shooting.
