According to a report by KTLA, investigators were seen at the scene tending to the man, who was discovered lying on his back wearing a red sweatshirt. A canopy was erected to shield the unidentified individual as the investigation unfolded.
The spokesperson for the authorities indicated that the cause of death remains under investigation.
As of now, the Los Angeles Police Department has not verified whether there is a connection between the man’s death and the ongoing riots. These disturbances, which began in response to ICE raids initiated on June 6, have now persisted for five consecutive days.
In the wake of the unrest, over 150 individuals have been arrested, and multiple injuries have been reported, including at least five LAPD officers and six California Highway Patrol officers. In a bid to restore order, President Donald Trump dispatched 2,000 National Guard troops to the affected areas on June 7, followed by an additional 2,000 and 700 Marines two days later.
ICE has made 118 arrests as the protests continue, illustrating the ongoing tension surrounding immigration enforcement in the region.
