The standoff in Torrance, California, involving a white cargo van that matched the description of a vehicle of interest from Saturday night’s mass shooting in Monterey Park, California ended on Sunday after officers found a body in the driver’s seat.
CNN reported that after police pulled the van over officers heard what they believe was the sound of the driver shooting himself.
Police released photos of an Asian male on Sunday believed to be the suspect in the attack. He was wearing a black leather jacket, black and white beanie, and glasses. Officers declined to share the suspect’s name.
While the white van is linked to the Monterey Park shooting, it’s still not clear if the driver is the shooting suspect.
“People have asked, is that your suspect? We don’t know. … There’s a van that looks just like what was described to us in the city of Torrance. It’s a barricaded suspect situation,” Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna said.
Ten people—five men and five women— were killed and at least 10 others were injured after the shooting at a ballroom dance club following a Lunar New Year celebration in Monterey Park, California on Saturday night, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
