Federal officials shot and killed a fugitive near the Wilshire area of Los Angeles. A Homeland Security special agent was also injured.
The shooting happened around 11:20 a.m. according to the U.S. Marshals Service. Officials said that members of the Fugitive Task Force were doing surveillance on a man who had a warrant out for his arrest in Nebraska at a building in the 6300 block of W. Wilshire Boulevard.

That’s when a Deputy U.S. Marshal and a Homeland Security Investigations special agent shot at him.
Marshals said the man who was killed was facing charges of marijuana distribution and money laundering. Officials have not yet identified him.
