The incident started around midnight after the suspect shot at least one person, according to the Los Angeles Police Department. The person that was shot survived and the suspect subsequently barricaded themselves in an apartment in the area of San Pedro and 81st streets.
SWAT units were still on scene by 6 a.m. as officers called for a man named "Anthony" to come out.

Efforts to get the suspect to surrender appeared to be fruitless for some time. AIR7 HD was over the scene as a robot was sent up to the apartment's door. Later, authorities deployed tear gas but that was also met with no response from inside the apartment.
A few family members were also present at the scene, calling to the suspect with a bullhorn. The suspect was taken into custody by 11 a.m.
It's unclear what prompted the original shooting, but authorities said it may have stemmed from a confrontation at a marijuana dispensary.
