Reserve Lofts suspect arrested in Arts District

Brian Alexik hadn't even fled Downtown, it seems. The Downtown News says he was arrested without incident at 1:40 p.m. in an apartment at 303 Hewitt Street, after police cordoned off a big swath of the Arts District.

LAPD officers knocked on the door of a second floor unit and identified themselves as police officers, Sambar said. A woman in her 30s opened the door.

Alexik gave himself up without incident, and there was no forced entry required

“He gave up,” said Sambar.

Alexik is currently being held at a command post on Garey Street, where he will be debrief and interviewed.

Here's our last post on the yarn.
