The other victim, a 50-year-old Hispanic man, was transported to a nearby hospital in stable condition. 

A suspect was taken into custody, LAPD confirmed. He was described as a 20-year-old man who is believed to be the son of the victims, police told KTLA 5’s Erin Myers.

Video from the scene obtained by KTLA shows the suspect — who was covered in blood and wearing no clothes — being taken into custody.

Additional footage shows a bloody man sitting in the street with a large gash on his back. Police were also seen talking to a young woman wrapped in a blanket who appeared to be uninjured.

No injuries to officers or other civilians were reported.
