Deputies with the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department were searching for a man considered “armed and dangerous” following a shooting and pursuit that ended in Artesia early Wednesday.
Deputies heard gunfire at around 1 a.m. and saw a car without its lights on.
When they tried to make a u-turn and attempt a traffic stop, the driver took off and the pursuit began.
The chase ended near the 91 Freeway and Pioneer Boulevard.
Four men ran from the car and toward a Motel 6 on the 16000 block of Pioneer Boulevard.
Three of the men were found and taken into custody, but after deputies spent several hours looking for that fourth person, they lifted the perimeter.
