OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On 08/15/2022, at approximately 4:30 a.m., Los Angeles Police Department officers responded to the 100 block of North Alvarado Street in the Westlake neighborhood after locating Dominique McGuire, 33, who was wanted in connection with a robbery investigation. Police determined McGuire had barricaded himself inside a room at a motel.
LAPD established a perimeter around the motel, evacuated the building, closed surrounding streets, and deployed the department's SWAT team along with crisis negotiators. As the incident continued, a nearby school was placed on lockdown as a precaution because of the ongoing police operation.
After several hours of negotiations, SWAT officers entered the motel room shortly before noon. McGuire was found dead inside from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. Police reported that no officers fired their weapons during the incident. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner investigated the death.
Public reporting located for this case did not identify any subsequent civil litigation by McGuire's family, community demonstrations, or publicly reported disputes regarding the official account of the incident. No officers were publicly identified in connection with the standoff.
