A man believed to be in his 60s died inside the Jack in the Box at 5400 Sepulveda Blvd. in Culver City around 2 p.m. Thursday evening after an alleged altercation with a younger man outside the store entrance.
Culver City Police Lt. Nielsen told Patch CCPD responded to the incident at 2:18 p.m. and that two subjects were involved "in an altercation." A man believed to be in his 20s allegedly struck a man in his 60s with his bare hands after the two exited the eatery. The victim then went back inside and collapsed and died.
Lt. Nielsen said at this stage it's too early to determine how the man died. "We don't know if he died of a heart attack or as a result of being struck. We don't have enough information at this point," Lt. Nielsen said.
The investigation is ongoing and Patch will bring you more details as they become available.
