About 11:30 a.m. LAPD Gang and Narcotics Division officers and an FBI task force were searching for the murder suspect, Daniel Anthony Valdez, at a motel. Agents staked out the hotel and waited for Valdez to pay his bill to apprehend him. As Valdez was leaving the office, he noticed the officers outside and pulled a handgun, shooting and wounding one officer in the wrist as he exited the office. One officer shot him five times with a shotgun, then switched to his sidearm and shot several more times. Another officer also fired on Valdez, who was killed by the volley of bullets. Agents and officers involved in the shooting were cleared of any charges.
