He was transported to a hospital, where he died.
By 11:45 a.m., a student at El School of Professional Makeup, located across the street from the Chick-fil-A, reported the area was on lockdown. LAPD Capt. Steve Lurie said traffic would be closed in the area for the next several hours as officials continue to investigate.
These homeless people are doing this all the time in LA. They are literally killing people on the streets. They are straight criminals who don’t get any punishment.

Machete-wielding robbery suspect shot and killed in HollywoodA robbery suspect wielding a large machete was shot and killed by police officers Monday afternoon in Hollywood, Los Angeles Police Department Lt. Chris Ramirez said. For anyone that asks the stupid fucking question as to why they didnt shoot him in the leg..... Because this isn't the movies and people still fight after being shot. Awesome! Great job by the police. That person with the machete was going to kill someone’s son or daughter. The police officer who dispensed with that menace to society should get a promotion. HK policeman should like this? The USA demonstrate ( ͡ಠ ʖ̯ ͡ಠ)
