The Incident in Cypress Park
A man suspected of shooting a family member in Cypress Park was apprehended by law enforcement officers after a dramatic chase that ended with him being struck by a police vehicle while riding a bicycle on a freeway and local streets. The incident took place in the 100 block of East Avenue 36, near the Arroyo Seco (110) Parkway, in Cypress Park.
According to the Los Angeles Police Department, officers received reports of shots fired around 11:45 a.m. on Friday. Upon arrival at the scene, they discovered that the suspect, identified as 24-year-old John Lopez, had shot a family member following a verbal altercation and had fled the scene.
The Chase
An LAPD air unit spotted Lopez riding a bicycle on the Golden State (5) Freeway shortly after the incident was reported. Northeast and Hollenbeck patrol units quickly responded, blocking traffic and tailing Lopez as he weaved through lanes on the freeway.
Eventually, Lopez exited the freeway at the Mission Road off-ramp and continued his flight on local streets, dodging in and out of traffic. The pursuit intensified as Lopez turned north on Daly Street, where a Hollenbeck officer made the decision to use his police vehicle to intervene.

The officer successfully struck Lopez with the police vehicle, causing him to lose control of the bicycle and crash onto the roadway. Lopez sustained injuries to his knees and was transported to a hospital for treatment. He was later booked on suspicion of attempted murder, with officers recovering a small caliber firearm during the arrest.
Meanwhile, the victim of the shooting was taken to a hospital for observation and was reported to have non-life-threatening injuries. LAPD Force Investigation Division has launched an investigation into the incident.
