On November 18, 2025, the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) released preliminary information regarding an Officer-Involved Shooting (OIS) that occurred on November 17, 2025, in the Topanga Division. According to LAPD, at approximately 12:25 p.m., Topanga Patrol Division officers responded to a radio call of an Assault with a Deadly Weapon near the 8300 block of Northgate Avenue. Call comments indicated the suspect, later identified as 27-year-old Marcus Hayes, was armed with a firearm and had pointed it at the reporting party. Upon arrival, officers observed Hayes running past them and ordered him to drop the weapon. Hayes refused to comply, and a foot pursuit ensued through nearby apartment buildings before returning to Northgate Avenue. There, Hayes stopped, faced officers, and continued holding the firearm. Despite repeated commands to drop the weapon, Hayes allegedly raised the firearm and fired at officers, resulting in an Officer-Involved Shooting. Hayes then threw the firearm onto the street and raised his hands. As officers attempted to detain him, Hayes reportedly clenched his fist and attempted to strike officers. He was taken to the ground and ultimately taken into custody. Hayes was not struck by gunfire, and no officers or community members were injured. A loaded 9mm semi-automatic pistol and a 15-round magazine were recovered at the scene and booked as evidence. This incident is being investigated by LAPD’s Force Investigation Division.
