Body cam shows LASD deputies fatally shoot armed suspect wearing body armor in Diamond Bar

Authorities Sunday continued their investigation into the circumstances surrounding a deputy-involved shooting in Diamond Bar.

The incident unfolded last Monday around 11:45 a.m. in the 2900 block of Crooked Creek Drive.

There, deputies with the Walnut Station responded to a report of a man firing a rifle. When they arrived at the scene, they located the individual in the street holding a rifle, and gave the suspect multiple commands.

The suspect ignored commands and continued to walk toward a man who was stopped in his vehicle. That was when a deputy-involved shooting occurred.

The suspect was identified as 30-year-old Benjamin Chin. He was pronounced dead at a hospital later that day.

Prior to the deputy-involved shooting, deputies have learned that the suspect allegedly stabbed his mother prior to their arrival. She has since been discharged from the hospital.
