In the early hours of May 28, 2025, a robbery at Winchell’s Donut House in the Harvard Heights neighborhood of Los Angeles escalated into a police-involved shooting. At approximately 3:21 a.m., Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) officers responded to reports of an armed robbery at the donut shop located in the 1600 block of South Western Avenue.

Upon arrival, officers observed Hall fleeing the scene on foot. An LAPD air unit tracked his movements to a nearby apartment complex, where officers confronted him.
