Rejected takeoff after a left engine failure alert indication - EICAS (Engine Indicating and Crew Alerting System) message 'L ENG SHUTDOWN.' First saw message appear at approximately 110 knots and rejected with speed reaching between 120-130 knots. V1 was 149 knots. After the aircraft came to a stop the left engine remained running and the EICAS alert indication then extinguished.We taxied clear of the runway and came to a stop on the parallel taxiway. I immediately informed the passengers/crew of the situation. The aircraft at that point would not move further on own power because of what we assumed to be a brake malfunction. ARFF was called to inspect aircraft gear/tires/brakes and reported nothing abnormal. We then coordinated with Company to establish a plan of action to return to the gate.Maintenance was able to free the brakes by pushing the aircraft backwards; and then the aircraft was towed to the gate where the passengers deplaned uneventfully using the jet bridge. Made the appropriate Logbook entries. There were no passenger injuries or complaints.
[Report narrative contained no additional information.]
Boeing 757 flight crew reported a false 'L Eng Shutdown' warning message during the takeoff roll; resulting in a high-speed rejected takeoff; and a return to the gate.
