His employer, Andrew Heney, told CBS Los Angeles: “Police came up, and they pulled their guns on him and he ran because he was scared, and they shot and killed him. He’s got a clean background and everything. There’s no reason.”
This has to stop. LA County law enforcement is out of control. This is such bullshit. Gov Newsom needs to disarm them now. @LAPDHQ @LASDHQ @GavinNewsom @AGBecerra

The shooting came one day after the LASD was also involved in the fatal shooting of the half-brother of Robert Fuller, who was found dead hanging in California. Spokesman Lt. Charles Calderaro said Guardado “produced a handgun and then began running southbound away from the deputies… Deputies engaged in a short foot pursuit between the two businesses, at some point the deputies contacted the suspect and that’s when the deputy-involved shooting occurred.”

Video footage from the scene showed family members and friends confronting deputies at the scene, at one point pushing through the yellow police tape to demand answers.
