A 34-year-old man was fatally shot by a Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputy in East L.A. on Sunday after deputies were dispatched for a report of a suicidal person, the sheriff’s office said. TDavid Ordaz Jr. was shot and killed in East Los Angeles on the afternoon of March 14 after family members called for help during a crisis during which the man was holding a knife and appeared suicidal. Deputies found the man armed with a kitchen knife inside of a vehicle, and requested that a mental health evaluation team respond to the scene, the sheriff’s department said. However, before that team could get there, the man exited the vehicle with the knife, the sheriff’s department said. The sheriff’s department alleged the man ignored commands to drop the knife, even after a “stun bag” was deployed, then “turned toward the deputies and began to charge at them with the knife in hand,” the sheriff’s department alleged.
