County : Los Angeles

Agency : LASD

Officer(s) : Not Disclosed

Cause of Death : Gunshot

Event : Killed by police on rooftop after shooting at police helicopter

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On 06/15/2024, Fullerton Police Department officers responded to reports of a man disturbing people with knives in the 200 block of E. Imperial Hwy. Officers encountered Lorenzo Roger Hills III, who was holding two knives. Hills advanced toward the officers. Police shot and killed him.
.
The Fullerton Police Department later alleged that Hills orchestrated the encounter to provoke a "suicide by cop." This claim rests on the assertion that Hills used his own cellphone to make a false police report. However, this rationale appears dubious and constructed to deflect responsibility for the shooting. The reliance on such tenuous evidence raises serious concerns about whether the police manufactured this narrative to justify their actions.
.
Agencies involved in the investigation include the Fullerton Police Department and the Orange County District Attorney's Office.
.
NUMBER OF CASUALTIES DURING THIS POLICE ENCOUNTER: 1 fatality.
