SWAT officers discovered the man's body early Monday after searching the complex at 4023 242nd St., near Hawthorne Boulevard.

It appeared the suspect was in his own apartment and that he shot himself, according to Sgt. Jeremiah Hart of the Torrance Police Department. The man's identity has not been released.

Police were called to the apartment complex around 3:40 p.m. Sunday and found a male victim dead from multiple gunshot wounds.

Witnesses had reported hearing 12 to 15 gunshots.

Officers closed off the area and escorted residents away as they searched for the suspect, Hart said.
