USGS data show magnitudes up to 2.7 along the Newport-Inglewood Fault, which runs through several South Los Angeles communities, though experts note such micro-quakes don't necessarily signal a larger quake is coming.

Both the suspect's and victim's conditions remain unclear, but no officers were hurt.
