A man was fatally shot inside a Brea residence Tuesday morning, police said.
Around 11:25 a.m., police responded to the 1400 block of West Whittier Avenue after someone inside the residence fled to a neighbor’s home and called 911, stating they heard a gunshot upon leaving the house. Officers stopped a car leaving the area and determined the driver was involved in the shooting, authorities said in a statement.
Shortly after, police entered the home and found a man suffering from what appeared to be a fatal gunshot wound. Details on the suspect and the victim, as well as the relationship between the two, were not released.
No additional information was immediately available. Police believe all involved have been identified and there is no ongoing threat to the community.
