Los Angeles - A homeless man who was killed by Los Angeles police was living under an assumed name and was wanted for violating probation terms for a bank robbery conviction, French and US officials said on Tuesday.
A law enforcement official identified Charley Saturmin Robinet, 39, as the man police shot Sunday. The official wasn't authorised to speak publicly and talked to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.
Axel Cruau, the consul general for France in Los Angeles, said the man stole the identity of a French citizen and was living in the United States under an assumed name. He had applied for a French passport in the late 1990s to come to the United States to "pursue a career in acting."
