911 call of man waving a gun in an alley is shot by LAPD officers when he raised, pointed at officers

On August 18, 2023, around 6:57 a.m., Southeast Division uniformed officers responded to a radio call of a “Possible assault with a deadly weapon suspect there now” armed with a gun in the alley to the rear of the 2100 block of East 103rd Street.

When officers arrived at the location, they located the suspect, later identified as 25-year-old Urias Saucedo, standing in the alley. The officers stopped their police vehicle to investigate. As the officers exited the vehicle, Saucedo sat down and removed a handgun from his rear waistband.

The officers ordered Saucedo to drop the handgun, but he did not comply. Saucedo stood, began to raise the handgun with his right hand, and an OIS occurred. Saucedo was struck by gunfire. Saucedo attempted to flee the scene on foot but was taken into custody by the officers.

The Los Angeles Fire Department responded and transported Saucedo by rescue ambulance to a local hospital, where he was listed in stable condition. Saucedo was treated and released.

Saucedo is a resident of Los Angeles, and he was booked for California Penal Code 69 PC – Resisting an Executive Officer. His bail was set at $80,000
