A 24-year-old armed murder suspect was taken into custody early Thursday morning after a nine-hour standoff with Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department's deputies in Compton. The suspect was arrested at around  2:30 a.m. Thursday, 

The armed man was identified by LASD homicide investigators as a suspect in a Jan. 7 shooting death of a man near San Pedro Street and El Segundo Boulevard in the unincorporated area of Los Angeles.

Deputies responded to the 1400 block of 131st Street around 4:30 p.m. Wednesday to reports regarding an armed suspect, who had barricaded himself inside the residence,  according to the department.
