March 12, 2026 – Los Angeles, CA – Los Angeles Police Department officials report that on March 10, 2026, at around 6:50 a.m.; 
Wilshire Patrol Division uniformed officers responded to a call of an Assault with a Deadly Weapon (ADW), with the suspect possibly still at the location, at 1826 Alsace Avenue.
The Person Reporting (PR) stated that the suspect (later identified as Jamil Basheer) “pulled a gun on him” after he asked Basheer to turn his music down. Officers met with the PR, who directed them to Basheer’s residence. After requesting additional resources, officers attempted to make contact with Basheer.
During this contact, Basheer produced a handgun, prompting officers to redeploy to the street while issuing verbal commands for him to surrender. Basheer suddenly exited the front door of the residence and ran directly toward officers while armed with a handgun in his left hand and a knife in his right hand. The handgun was pointed at the officers, resulting in an Officer-Involved Shooting (OIS). Basheer was struck once and fell to the ground, dropping both the handgun and the knife. He then stood up and ran back inside his residence.
A short time later, Basheer complied with officers’ commands to surrender and was taken into custody without further incident. Personnel from the Los Angeles Fire Department transported Basheer to a local hospital, where he was treated for a gunshot wound to the jaw. He is currently listed in stable condition. Basheer has not yet been booked due to requiring medical treatment.
Officers recovered a handgun and a six-inch black folding knife at the scene. The handgun was determined to be a Glock 19–style BB gun loaded with two .177 caliber rounds and a charged CO cartridge. No officers or other community members were injured during this incident. Force Investigation Division investigators responded to the scene and are investigating this incident.
