The police shooting in Compton

On 3 July 2019, the deputies chased and tried to pull over a car (Cadillac Escalade) because they believed that the driver was not driving properly and seemed to be under the influence.

The car was a company car registered to YG. However one of the occupants of the car fired an assault rifle at the police multiple times. The police officers also shot back. But the car managed to escape.

A Sheriff’s helicopter was put to work and it tracked down the vehicle to Inglewood. Here too, an occupant from the car fired at the helicopter as it came a bit closer to it.

The occupants of the car left the SUV and fled from the scene of the crime. However, the police managed to nab one of them while the second one escaped.

The injured people and police and the police find

The police searched the abandoned car for clues but did not find the rifle in it. The escaped criminal had prostate it away with him. In all this scuffle, one police officer suffered grazed gunshot wounds which were on his arms and shoulders.

But there was a passer-by who had more serious and multiple gunshot wounds. He was Ricky Cornell Starks and he was 65 years old.

He was declared dead at the scene of the crime. But it is not certain whose gun killed this bystander-was it that of the suspects or the police? The case would be clear after investigation.
