A murder suspect who was shot and killed March 1 by LAPD officers and an FBI agent in La Mirada didn’t have a gun despite police saying he fired at them while on a rooftop, according to authorities Wednesday, LAPD officials said initial reports that Frank Eric Martinez fired on the officers are incorrect and no weapon has been located.

“Investigators are evaluating multiple factors to determine the actions of both the officers and the suspect at the time of the shooting. Interviews of the officers and agents at the scene of the shooting, as well as witnesses to the incident are continuing.”

FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller also said Wednesday that no weapon was found.
