On July 3, 2024, in West Compton, California, what began as a routine LAPD traffic stop turned into a sudden ambush. Officers Stefan Carutasu and Joshua Rodney were attempting to stop a white Chevrolet sedan near Broadway and Rosecrans Avenue when the driver, later identified as Malcolm Darnell Guss Jr.—a seven-time convicted felon—allegedly opened fire with a fully automatic AR-style rifle. The officers were hit by glass fragments and graze wounds as bullets tore through their windshield. Miraculously, both officers survived and have fully recovered.
