On June 9, 2025, at approximately 12:32 a.m., deputies from the Century Sheriff’s
Station responded to a residential burglary in progress call on the 3300 block of Los
Flores Boulevard in Lynwood. Upon arrival, deputies learned a male, later identified as
45-year-old Federico Rodriguez, had broken into the residence and was still inside with
the victim.
Deputies approached the residence and saw Rodriguez through a window holding what
appeared to be a pair of scissors. Deputies developed a tactical plan to rescue the
victim, which included breaking a bedroom window to access the residence. As a
deputy broke the window, they heard screaming and saw Rodriguez stabbing the victim.
Deputies forced entry into the residence through a door and encountered Rodriguez in
the hallway on his knees, armed with a knife and stabbing the victim, who was lying on
the floor. As Rodriguez was stabbing the victim, a deputy-involved shooting occurred.
Rodriguez was struck by gunfire and his attack on the victim stopped, allowing deputies
to immediately rescue the victim. Deputies provided medical aid to Rodriguez until the
arrival of Los Angeles County Fire Department personnel. Rodriguez was transported
to a local hospital, where he was later pronounced deceased.
No deputies or other persons were injured during the incident.
A knife was recovered at the scene.
LASD Homicide investigators responded to the scene to conduct interviews,
follow up, and process the scene. Representatives from the Office of the
Inspector General (OIG), Internal Affairs Bureau (IAB), and the Los Angeles
County District Attorney’s Office – Justice System Integrity Division (JSID) also

Once completed, the criminal investigation will be forwarded to the District
Attorney’s Office to determine whether the force used by the involved personnel
violated any criminal laws. Once the District Attorney’s Office investigation is
completed, the LASD will evaluate the actions of the personnel within the
application of policy, procedures, and tactics.

Según los agentes, el 9 de junio de 2025, alrededor de las 00:32, agentes de la Comisaría del Sheriff de Century respondieron a un reporte de un robo residencial en curso en la cuadra 3300 de Los Flores Boulevard en Lynwood. Al llegar, se enteraron de que un hombre, posteriormente identificado como Federico Rodríguez, de 45 años, había entrado a la fuerza en la vivienda y aún se encontraba dentro con la víctima.
Los agentes observaron a Rodríguez a través de una ventana sosteniendo lo que parecían ser unas tijeras. Rápidamente idearon un plan táctico para rescatar a la víctima, que incluía romper la ventana de una habitación para entrar.
Cuando un agente rompió la ventana, oyeron gritos y vieron a Rodríguez apuñalando activamente a la víctima. Los agentes forzaron la entrada por una puerta y encontraron a Rodríguez en el pasillo, arrodillado y sin dejar de apuñalar a la víctima, quien yacía en el suelo. En ese momento, se produjo un tiroteo en el que participaron los agentes. Rodríguez recibió un disparo, lo que detuvo el ataque y permitió a los agentes llegar hasta la víctima.
Los agentes le brindaron asistencia médica a Rodríguez hasta que llegó el personal del Departamento de Bomberos del Condado de Los Ángeles. Fue trasladado a un hospital local, donde posteriormente fue declarado muerto. Ningún agente ni transeúnte resultó herido. Se recuperó un cuchillo en el lugar.
