Man fatally shot by LASD in Compton was not involved in carjacking

The man fatally shot by a deputy in Compton last month was not connected to a carjacking suspect who had opened fire on deputies, sheriff's officials said. During the July 28 incident, a carjacking suspect crashed a stolen car, fired at deputies and fled into a neighborhood. A search ensued, and that suspect was taken into custody. Around the same time, a resident in the neighborhood noticed 27-year-old Donnell Thompson lying in his yard and called 911. Sheriff's officials said deputies were concerned that Thompson may be armed and possibly connected to the carjacking suspect.
