<\/br> Authorities are searching for the alleged accomplice of a man police shot and killed early this morning after a car chase that ended in South Gate.
<\/br><\/p>\n

Bell police were conducting a traffic stop on a white vehicle occupied by two males shortly after midnight when the suspects began firing at the officers, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff\u2019s Department, which is investigating the incident. <\/p>\n

The car drove off and police pursued the car four miles into South Gate, where the vehicle crashed into a concrete wall at Seville Avenue and Santa Ana Street. The suspects exited the vehicle and one of the men began firing at Bell officers, police said.<\/p>\n

One of the suspect’s rounds struck the hood of a Bell police vehicle and officers returned fire, police said.<\/p>\n

One suspect began running southbound on Commercial Place. A Bell police sergeant and another officer began shooting and the suspect was struck several times in the upper torso.
<\/br><\/p>\n

County paramedics responded and the man was pronounced dead at the scene. A weapon was recovered. <\/p>\n

The other man escaped, officials said. No officers were injured.
