San Gabriel police shot and killed a man Wednesday night after he failed to stop for a traffic violation and led them on a short vehicle chase that ended in the town of Rosemead, authorities said.
Officers attempted to pull over the driver of a 2015 Jeep sometime before 9 p.m., San Gabriel police said in a news release. The driver failed to stop and led to a brief pursuit by police.
The chase ended in the 600 block of Charlotte Avenue in Rosemead, where the shooting occurred, according to police. The driver, whose name has not been released, died at the scene.
It is unclear what sparked the shooting.
A video from OnScene.TV showed officers from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department and the Alhambra Police Department at the scene. The chase ended on a dead-end street, which remained closed to the public for several hours.
The San Gabriel Police Department did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
