Ezequiel Garcia, 42, “is currently on active parole for murder,” said the police department.
Authorities sought the public’s help Wednesday in finding an “armed and dangerous” parolee allegedly seen loading a rifle in the South Los Angeles area.
“A community member called 911 upon seeing a suspect standing next to a car and loading a rifle,” an LAPD statement said. “Believing the suspect was still armed, officers requested additional resources,” police said. “LAPD’s Metropolitan K9 and SWAT personnel responded to assist in apprehending the suspect. After several hours of searching, it was determined the suspect was no longer in the area.”
“He is currently on active parole for murder and should be considered armed and dangerous,” police said. “The Los Angeles Police Department is alerting the South Los Angeles community about these crimes to emphasize the importance of personal safety. Residents are encouraged to be aware of their surroundings and to notify the police of any suspicious activity or individuals loitering in the area.
