August 14, 2020
Officers were sent shortly before 9 a.m. to Abdullah’s home near Crenshaw and West Washington boulevards on a call that three people were being held hostage by a man with a gun, according to the LAPD.
“After the officers were able to verify the safety of the residents, the on-scene investigation determined the call was a hoax,” according to an LAPD statement that said the Major Crimes Division will assist in the investigation.
