LAPD officers shoot, kill stabbing suspect in Hollywood Hills

An investigation was underway in the Hollywood Hills on Saturday night after police officers shot and killed an alleged assault with a deadly weapon suspect.

The Los Angeles Police Department said officers responded to reports of the alleged assault at about 9:35 p.m. at a home in the 9300 block of Warbler Way. Upon arrival, officers found a person suffering from "heavy bleeding" after being stabbed or cut.

The person directed officers to a man armed with a knife inside the home. Officers gave commands to drop the knife, which he ignored, the LAPD said. At some point, at least one officer shot the man.

He was pronounced dead at the scene, the LAPD said. He has yet to be identified publicly.

Officers said the man, who has since been identified as 37-year-old Jonathan Farkhondehpour by the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner, was "behaving erratically" due to alcohol consumption.

All officers were unharmed, LAPD officials said. The knife was recovered at the scene and will be booked as evidence.

Aerial footage showed a large section of street blocked off near a home with several police cars and a fire engine stopped out front. Multiple police officers were seen inside a residence in the area. 

No additional details were immediately made available. It's unclear if the man allegedly trespassed or if he and the alleged victim had a prior relationship.
