A video showed an altercation in L.A.'s Skid Row Sunday morning that left a man dead.

In a video uploaded to Facebook, officers can be seen with two people. Two officers pull one person away. The other officers, who are farther from the camera, surround a man.
"Drop the gun," officers shout several times with their own guns drawn. About five shots can be heard on the video.
