MONROVIA, Calif. (KABC) — A man was found fatally shot outside a Monrovia home Friday night after he apparently showed up with a knife at the home of a woman who had an active restraining order against him, police say.

The woman called Monrovia emergency dispatch just before 9:30 p.m. to say the man was at her home and armed with a knife.

By the time officers showed up, he was dead.

“Officers responded immediately and discovered the male subject deceased with a gunshot wound,” the police statement said.

His identity was not immediately released.

It wasn’t immediately clear who shot him or what led up to the shooting. Police briefly detained two people at the scene, including the woman who initially called 911. A gun was also taken into evidence. No arrests were made.

A hunting knife was also recovered at the scene, on the ground a few feet from the man’s body.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Homicide Division was notified of the incident and assumed control of the investigation, the Police Department said.
