An attempted robbery at a Whittier-area marijuana dispensary early Wednesday led to a shooting that apparently left a man dead and two suspects at large.
Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department deputies were called at 1:37 a.m. Wednesday to the dispensary in the 13500 block of Telegraph Road, between Mills Avenue and Carmenita Road near Whittier.
According to the sheriff’s department, three armed suspects went into the dispensary and were apparently met by two security guards, at least one of whom opened fire. It was unclear if the suspects fired any shots, homicide Lt. Steven De Jong told reporters at the scene.
The robbery suspects fled the location in a vehicle, and about 20 minutes later, a man suffering from gunshot wounds was dropped off at a Whittier hospital, sheriff’s officials said. That person, described only as a 32-year-old man, was then taken to another hospital, where he died.
His name was not immediately released.
No arrests were reported.
Anyone with information regarding this shooting was asked to call the Sheriff’s Homicide Bureau at 323-890-5500. Tipsters who wish to remain anonymous can call 800-222-8477 or visit lacrimestoppers.org.
