Los Angeles Police Department officers surrounded the Lincoln Inn Tuesday afternoon after determining that a suspect, possibly armed, was holed up inside on the second floor.
Officers shut down Lincoln Boulevard between Washington and Venice as they attempt to coax the suspect to surrender. A SWAT team was on scene.
The suspect was believed to be armed and dangerous, though information about the murder and the victim was not released.
The suspect surrendered peacefully and was taken into custody shortly before 5 p.m.
