2 dead in Boyle Heights, including suspect shot by police

Police continued their investigation Thursday into shootings that left two men dead, one of whom was believed to be a suspect and was killed by police.

Hours after the deadly shootings, investigators were still trying to gather information about how the events transpired in Boyle Heights.

The drama unfolded about 10:25 p.m. Wednesday after officers were patrolling near 4th and Soto streets when they heard gunshots, said LAPD Officer Liliana Preciado.

The Hollenbeck station officers then saw a man "collapse and fall" in the middle of 4th Street, Sgt. Barry Montgomery said. The 29-year-old man died.

The officers called for backup, saying they were at the scene of a possible shooting, Montgomery said. The officers then spotted another man running east from the scene.

A police helicopter arrived in the area, Montgomery said, and also saw the man thought to be the suspect.
