Police identified the suspect as 37-year-old Aundre Jones. Jones had been hospitalized after the shooting that occurred Tuesday afternoon in the 3000 block of West Boulevard, but he was pronounced dead on Wednesday, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
The violent series of events unfolded around 12:17 p.m. Tuesday when police were called about a domestic violence suspect in a white Maserati who was apparently following the driver of a city DASH bus in the San Pedro area.
According to police, the bus driver and Jones previously dated and had a child together.
Responding officers spotted Jones' vehicle and attempted a traffic stop, but he sped away, beginning a chase that headed north on the 110 Freeway, police said.
They chased him along the freeway and into the West Adams area and eventually into a residential neighborhood near West and Jefferson boulevards.
The suspect pulled into a driveway, parked behind an apartment building and walked toward the street, where police were approaching.
"The suspect in the driveway pulled out two guns - one in each hand - and opened fire on the officers," LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell told reporters Tuesday. "Officers returned fire, striking the suspect."
LAPD says Jones and officers fired multiple rounds at each other.
Jones was treated at the scene and taken to a hospital, where he died Wednesday.
Two 9mm semi-automatic handguns were recovered next to Jones at the scene, police said.
The suspect's mother, who police said approached Jones during the shooting, was struck by gunfire on the arm and brought to a local hospital. She was treated for her injury and is expected to make a full recovery.
Several other family members also witnessed the violence.
"His sister saw this. She was covered in blood, splattered in her face," neighbor Shannon Kimbell said. "It was a horrible scene.
Kimbell had her sofas, windows and walls riddled with more than 30 bullet holes because of the shootout.
She's thankful she wasn't home during the shooting and that her dog was in its kennel, instead of his favorite spot in front of a window that's now riddled with bullets.
"Something just came to me 'put him in the kennel,'" Kimbell said. "And I walked back into the house, and I put him in the kennel, and an hour later this happened."
