LA Police Open Fire on Suspect Holding Gun-Shaped Lighter

(Disclaimer: The content in this video is intended for educational and informational purposes only)
Hollywood, California — On October 3rd, 2024, at around 5:01 pm, multiple Hollywood Patrol Division officers responded to a radio call of a man with a gun near the City of Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks, Hollywood Pool, located near the intersection of Cole Avenue and Lexington Avenue. When the officers arrived on scene they contacted the suspect, later identified as Darrel Morgan, who was walking on the sidewalk adjacent to the pool with an article in his waistband. Officers issued verbal commands to Morgan, which he ignored and fled the area on foot. Officers briefly lost visual of Morgan; however, with the assistance of an air unit, the officers continued to track Morgan and located him in the area of Vine Street and La Mirada Avenue.

Officers attempted to make contact with Morgan as he crossed to the east side of Vine Street. Morgan was holding an object resembling a small handgun. Morgan appeared to point the object at responding officers, resulting in an Officer Involved Shooting (OIS). Morgan was not struck by gunfire and fled north on Vine Street. He ran approximately one block north and was apprehended a short time later in the 1300 Block of North Vine Street without further incident. No officers or community members were reported injured during this incident. A small gold and dark metallic colored lighter, in the design of a Luger Pistol, was located at the 1300 Block of North Vine Street and was collected as evidence.
