Los Angeles: On March 26, 2025, at approximately 8:45 pm, a suspect, later identified as Keyon Williams, reportedly pointed a possible rifle at passersby outside a residence located at 6400 block of South Figueroa Street. Seventy-seventh Street Patrol Division uniformed officers responded and located Williams at the front door of the residence. Williams refused to follow the officer’s commands to surrender and barricaded himself inside the location.

Additional resources were requested, and containment was established around the residence. Officers observed Williams holding what appeared to be a rifle and Metropolitan Division Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) responded to the location to assist. From inside the location, Williams pointed the possible rifle at SWAT officers, resulting in an Officer-Involved Shooting. Williams was struck by gunfire and submitted to arrest a short time later. While SWAT officers were clearing the location, they located two additional occupants.

One occupant was arrested for 69(a)PC-Resisting arrest, the other was questioned and released. Williams was transported to a local hospital where he received treatment for a gunshot wound to his left wrist. He was subsequently booked for 69(a)PC-Resisting Arrest.

No officers or community members were injured during this incident. The investigation determined Williams was in possession of a large plastic object, that resembled a rifle. Force Investigation Division (FID) investigators responded to the scene and are investigating this incident.
