Video recorded by a bystander appears to show a deadly encounter in which a California Highway Patrol officer repeatedly shoots a man after a struggle in the middle of the 105 Freeway in Watts on Sunday afternoon.

The CHP confirmed Monday that a shooting took place on the freeway but did not provide further details.

The Los Angeles County medical examiner’s office said Monday the person had died, though it did not provide identification, pending notification of family. A cause of death was not released.

CHP officials said they responded to the freeway about 3:15 p.m. Sunday after receiving multiple calls about a man walking through traffic near the Wilmington Avenue exit.

After the trooper made contact with the pedestrian, “a struggle ensued and an officer-involved shooting occurred,” the CHP said in a release. Authorities said over a police radio that the man fired a Taser at the officer, leading to the shooting, according to audio posted on the Citizen mobile app.

The video shows a CHP officer on top of another person as the two struggle on the pavement in the middle of what appears to be a closed stretch of freeway.

After a few seconds, while the two tussle, a gun seems to go off and a bullet ricochets off the pavement near the body of the man, who remains on the ground.

The officer then stands up and shoots at least four additional times at the prone man.

The man lies motionless for the rest of the minute-long video. The CHP officer remains by the body with his gun drawn.

It was not immediately clear who posted the video online.

State Sen. Steven Bradford (D-Gardena) called the video “deeply disturbing” and said the community deserves answers.

“If the roles were reversed, people would be immediately calling for murder charges,” Bradford said. “I call on the California Highway Patrol and the Department of Justice to be transparent and for the community to be calm and patient during the investigation.”

The CHP directed all inquiries to the California Department of Justice, which investigates police shootings in which unarmed people are killed, according to the department.

The state Department of Justice declined comment but confirmed in a statement the agency is investigating the shooting.
