Los Angeles, California — On August 27, 2023, around 11:12 a.m., Devonshire Division uniformed patrol officers were in the 18000 block of Malden Street, when they observed an individual, later identified as 24-year-old Angel Ledesma, whom they believed to be loitering near the front door of an apartment complex. The officers exited their vehicle and began asking Ledesma where he lived. Moments later, Ledesma began running toward the officers while holding a knife in his hand, with the blade pointed toward them. The officers immediately ordered Ledesma to drop the knife; however, Ledesma did not comply.
Ledesma continued running towards the officers while still holding the knife and an OIS occurred. Ledesma was struck by gunfire, fell to the pavement, and was taken into custody without further incident. The officers at scene immediately rendered aid to Ledesma until the Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics arrived. Shortly after, Ledesma was pronounced deceased at scene. A folding knife with an approximate 2 ¾ inch blade, fixed in the open position, was recovered from the scene and booked as evidence. No officers nor other citizens were injured during this incident.

I think it's common sense if you say drop the knife knowing he's been shot plenty of times is ridiculous, how many shots you in him take your time shooting he's gonna slow down anyway until he's on the ground
Aww the suspect got winded!! More air for us.
Good garbage detail complete.
Why would he do that? What's wrong with people.
Why you bro that man like that, bro?
Que buena actuación del agente sin gritar sin ponerse nervioso ðŸ‘ðŸ¾ðŸ‘ðŸ¾ðŸ‘🾠muy buen trabajo felicidades ☺ï¸ðŸ‘ðŸ¾
such an intelligent man. he must have been a student lawyer experimenting with the law
I hope the perp lived. Only for the sake of the officer. It's hard to have a death on your conscience. This punk wanted to die.
Never bring a knife to a gunfight
Ran directly towards death and won the prize. ☠ï¸
Another day, another suicide by cop. Selfish prick.
Too much call of duty thinking he could cut the police
Staccatos on deck
average LA interaction
Sucide by cop..that's what this is
Daaaaayum… LAPD packin the Stoccato 2011?!
Every time I think I miss the 818, I see shit like this and know moving to Austin was the right move.
Ledesma took the concrete temperature challenge, but did not successfully complete it .
Well done officer one more less on the streets…..
Simmer down, Zorro. You ain't putting your mark on those cops!
This is one of bidens Mexicans for sure
Fake as fuk!
So did he just want to die and he wanted the cops to take him out? I mean, knives against a gun isn’t even a battle right? 😢
Como quisiéramos tener policÃas asà como ellos en mi mexico 😮
hope no shitty ass people say this was wrong and that the guy was a angel
LOL
Dude was definitely the one breaking into homes and vehicles. His “Break ins? What break ins?†Reply proved it. This man was a danger to the streets and as such was removed by police. Thank you officers.
Dios me los bendiga,â¤
What a fuckin idiot. What did he think was going to happen lmao
21 foot rule
Yo, bro…. 😅
There is a reason this officer carries a $4,000+ pistol. He is a BOSS.
Died in the gutter, what a place to go.
