Acacia Avenue

Shortly after 7:15 a.m., deputies responded to a call at an apartment complex in the 100 block of Acacia Avenue in Compton, where they found a man with a gunshot wound and determined that another man was hiding inside an apartment with a firearm, officials said.

The Honda driver, last seen heading eastbound on the 91 Freeway, west of Acacia Avenue, has not been apprehended.

The two were killed when their car crashed into a pole about 12:40 a.m. on the eastbound freeway, near Acacia Avenue, according to the California Highway Patrol.

Since 1949, residents on East Acacia Avenue have concocted elaborate holiday displays that draw large crowds from all over Southern California.

Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies tried to stop an SUV for reckless driving near North Acacia Avenue and West Elm Street in Compton in early July, and the vehicle sped away.
