LONG BEACH, Calif. -- The coroner's office Sunday identified the man who was shot dead by a Long Beach resident after officials said the man climbed through the window of a Long Beach condominium, City News Service reported.

Long Beach police spokesperson Nancy Pratt said Ariel Perez, 21, was shot dead in the Friday afternoon incident.

A 26-year-old man was in his home in the 200 block of West Seaside Way when he discovered a man entering his residence through a window, Pratt said.

Fearing for his life, Pratt said, the man armed himself and fired at the intruder.

Police dispatched to the scene Friday about 4:30 p.m. found a 21-year- old man, who was later pronounced dead at the scene.

The dead man's city of residence was unknown, said Los Angeles Coroner's Lt. Cheryl MacWillie.
