Suspect Opens Fire On LAPD Officers During Foot Chase

* (Disclaimer: The content in this video is intended for educational and informational purposes only)
Los Angeles, California — On July 5, 2025, at around 3:45 p.m., Southwest Area uniformed Gang Enforcement Detail officers were conducting patrol along the Western Avenue corridor near Martin Luther King (MLK) Park. Officers observed the suspect, later identified as 26-year-old Ernesto Sepulveda, riding a bicycle north on the sidewalk. The officers believed that Sepulveda possessed a handgun and initiated a pedestrian stop on the 3900 block of South Western Avenue. During the stop, Sepulveda suddenly fled from the officers. During the foot pursuit Sepulveda removed a pistol from his waistband and fired at the officers, resulting in an Officer-Involved-Shooting (OIS). One officer was struck in the legs by gunfire. Sepulveda continued to flee south on Western Avenue and fired an additional round at backup officers.

Sepulveda experienced a malfunction with his firearm and discarded the weapon, before fleeing farther into MLK Park. Responding officers continued to pursue Sepulveda on foot and a Non-Categorical Use of Force (NCUOF) occurred when Sepulveda was taken into custody. The officer injured by gunfire was transported to a local hospital where he received treatment for gunshot wounds to his legs and a graze wound to his cheek. The officer remains hospitalized in stable condition. Sepulveda was transported to a local hospital for a laceration to his head. He was treated and cleared by medical staff for booking. No other officers or community members were injured during this incident. A black steel, 9mm, Polymer 80, ‘Ghost Gun’, loaded magazine, and discharged cartridge cases were recovered at scene and booked as evidence.

    Can't wait for some leftist subreddit to clip the last 2 seconds of the chase and claim police brutality. Literal mental cases thinking these types of people belong in society.

    Hi! I really like your work and appreciate the effort you put into your videos. I wanted to ask if I could use a few short clips from this video in my own content, with proper credit given to your channel. Please let me know if this would be okay. Thank you! 🙏

    J’espère que le policier n’a rien et qu’il va bien 😮 💪🏻

    Once upon a time, the public would be informed of this criminals past so that we were……more informed. California does not allow that any longer thanks to the democrat legislature, Governor Newsome, and democrat gerrymandering. They want a blind public.

    Have PD’s in the US not heard of Velcro for their BWC’s? It’s great stuff invented in the late 40’s so surely you must have come across it? 🤪

    I'm so confused. I thought California made it nearly impossible to legally carry a gun. Was this guy one of the few able to get a concealed carry permit? I just don't understand why he would have a gun if it was illegal for him to carry a gun.
