Los Angeles, California — On September 13, 2023, around 8:35 p.m., Olympic Division uniformed patrol officers responded to a radio call of a “415 Man with a Knife” on the 1200 block of South New Hampshire Avenue. Upon arrival, officers searched the area and located the suspect walking through a parking lot. As officers were setting up containment around the parking lot, they verbalized with the suspect who was armed with a large kitchen knife. After several minutes of commands, the suspect, while still armed with the knife in his right hand, ran toward officers positioned at the exit of the parking lot.

Despite additional warnings to drop the knife, the suspect refused to comply and continued running towards the officers, resulting in an OIS. The suspect was struck by gunfire, fell to the pavement, and was taken into custody without further incident. The officers requested a rescue ambulance and rendered aid to the suspect. Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics transported the suspect to a local hospital where he was pronounced deceased. The suspect was later identified as 35-year-old Carlos De Anda. A large kitchen knife with an approximate 8 inch blade was recovered from the scene and booked as evidence. No officers nor other citizens were injured during this incident.

Hacienda Heights, California — On September 4, 2023, at 5:34 a.m., Industry Station deputies responded to a residence in the 16700 block of Dawn Haven Road in unincorporated Hacienda Heights, regarding a call of a person who had committed an assault with a knife. Information in the call indicated a male had stabbed his father. The male was later identified as 42-year-old Robert Boozer of St. George, Utah. Upon arrival, deputies located Boozer on the front porch of a neighboring residence. Boozer was holding a large knife in one of his hands.

The deputies gave Boozer numerous commands to drop the knife. Boozer ignored the deputies’ commands and charged at them while holding the knife, at which point a deputy-involved shooting occurred. Boozer was struck by gunfire, dropped the knife, and fell to the ground. Deputies rendered first aid until the arrival of the Los Angeles County Fire Department paramedics who pronounced Boozer dead at the scene. The stabbing victim, Boozer's father, sustained multiple stab wounds to his torso and was pronounced dead at the scene. A knife, with an approximate nine-inch blade, was recovered at the scene.

LAKE FOREST, Calif. - The Orange County Sheriff's Department released body camera footage from an August shooting, in which deputies shot at a man accused of stabbing two women in a Lake Forest apartment complex.

It happened back on Aug. 20. Officials were called out to an apartment in the 21000 block of Osterman Road just after 12:15 p.m., after a caller told dispatch that they saw a woman who had been stabbed.

When deputies got there, they found the woman with stab wounds, and said that another woman, the first victim's sister, and the suspect, believed to be the two women's brother, were back in the apartment.

"With another possible victim inside the apartment, deputies decided to make entry," said OCSD Sheriff Michael Woodroof in a video press release. "Deputies encountered the suspect inside the apartment and gave commands for the suspect to drop the knife. The suspect did not comply with the deputies' commands."

Body camera footage shared in the release showed footage from two deputies. Deputies opened the apartment door, and shot at the suspect on the other side of the entrance hallway seconds later. Screenshots from the video appear to show the man with something in his hands, which the OCSD said was a knife. The department also shared photos of two knives — a folding pocket knife and a chef's knife — recovered from the suspect.

The man was then handcuffed while deputies gave him first aid. Other deputies clearing the apartment found the other woman in the apartment bathroom. She had been stabbed multiple times and was pronounced dead at the scene.

The suspect was brought to the hospital and arrested on suspicion of murder and attempted murder. The first sister is expected to survive.

Neither the victims or the suspect were identified in Tuesday's press release. The full release can be found here.
