On Monday, Los Angeles County Sheriff’s officials said deputies tried to stop a Black man who was riding a bike in South Los Angeles. They said he was stopped for a code violation related to the bike, but wouldn’t elaborate on what the alleged violation was. Sheriff’s officials said Mr. Kizzee punched one of the officers in the face and dropped a bundle that they said contained a handgun. When Mr. Kizzee dropped the bundle and “made a motion” toward the gun, officials said, the deputies opened fire. Mr. Kizzee died.
