LOS ANGELES—State authorities were investigating Nov. 20 after a California Highway Patrol officer shot and killed a man over the weekend in the middle of a Los Angeles area freeway during a struggle recorded on video.
Sunday afternoon’s deadly encounter occurred after the highway patrol responded to multiple calls of a male pedestrian walking in westbound lanes of Interstate 105 in south L.A. County, the agency said in a statement. All traffic in that direction was temporarily blocked.
