Los Angeles police said Tuesday that a body had been discovered in an area where looting has been reported amid protests against federal immigration enforcement actions in the city.
The individual was found near West 3rd Street and Broadway shortly after 1:30 a.m. local time, according to KTLA.
The body was reportedly found outside a T-Mobile store looted one night earlier.
The Los Angeles Police Department did not immediately respond to The Hill’s request for comment.
Protests in the city over the past few days have turned violent, with demonstrators defacing federal property and setting cars on fire.
In response, President Trump has ordered 4,000 National Guard soldiers and 500 Marines deployed to Los Angeles.
That deployment has sparked backlash from California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.) as well as a lawsuit.
