Police say an eyewitness to the robbery chased Garcia and called police.
When officers responded, they found the suspect hiding in a trash bin. The officers told the man to lie on the ground, and when he didn't respond, they used a Taser on him.
Police say the suspect then advanced with a knife, and officers responded by opening fire.
The /*L.A. County Sheriff's Department*/, which routinely investigates officer-involved shootings in the county's smaller municipal police departments, is investigating the incident.
