Man Shot and Killed in Motel Fight

A man was shot and killed at a downtown motel Monday night, after he apparently pulled a knife during an argument.

The deadly fight happened around 10:00 p.m. at the Traveler's Motel on Broadway.

Police say two men were fighting, when one of them stabbed the other in the chest. The stabbing victim then pulled out a gun and shot his alleged attacker twice in the chest.

According to authorities, the gunman ran off, but was captured a few blocks away at San Pedro and West Poplar.

Police say the gunman has a good case for self-defense, so no murder charges were filed against him. However, the District Attorney's office makes the final call.

The gunman was arrested for outstanding warrants.

Police say the 40-year-old victim was homeless and they are having difficulty trying to locate his family.
