Temecula teen shot and killed by juvenile
Homicide detectives are searching for whoever shot and killed a man in Los Angeles County Wednesday night.
The incident was reported shortly before 11 p.m. in the 800 block of North Rose Avenue in the City of Compton.
Arriving deputies found a male victim at the scene suffering from at least one gunshot wound.
The victim, who has not been identified, was pronounced dead at the scene, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department stated in a news release.
Video showed caution tape blocking off the neighborhood street lined with parked cars as detectives investigated the crime scene.
No information regarding the suspect, or suspects, has been released.
The motive for the shooting was also unknown.
Anyone with information about the shooting was asked to call the Sheriff’s Department at 323-890-5500. Those who prefer to remain anonymous can contact Crime Stoppers at 800-222-8477.
Two suspects who led police on a lengthy pursuit through Orange and Los Angeles counties Wednesday are believed to be connected to a follow-home robbery in Rancho Cucamonga.
The male victim, who did not wish to be identified, visited a Chase bank on Tuesday and withdrew around $2,000 in cash from the ATM for a birthday party.
He drove to his parents’ Rancho Cucamonga home and entered the house, leaving the cash inside his car.
That’s when he suddenly heard his car alarm go off.
“He said, ‘As soon as I sat down [inside the home], I heard the alarm go off,’” the victim’s mother recalled. “He said, ‘My car was broken into! I ran out and saw no one was close to my car.’”
A nearby home doorbell camera captured the suspects’ white SUV speeding away before the victim could catch them.
“In looking at home video surveillance, they were able to piece together what had happened and they spotted a white SUV which happened to be the Audi,” explained Maria Rodriguez a spokesperson from the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department.
Around 10 a.m. Wednesday morning, Costa Mesa police officers spotted the white Audi SUV with license plates that had been stolen in Riverside.
The suspects refused to pull over and led officers on a lengthy pursuit. They reached speeds of over 100 miles per hour while dangerously weaving through freeway traffic and surface streets.
Rancho Cucamonga officers noticed the SUV and immediately contacted Costa Mesa police, alerting them the car may be the same vehicle used in the follow-home theft.
“Sure enough, it was determined that, yes, it was the car we had seen from [Rancho Cucamonga’s] case the day prior,” Rodriguez said.
At one point during the chase, the driver pulled over, stepped out and surrendered to police. However, the passenger suddenly jumped into the driver’s seat and sped off, continuing the chase.
The car was later abandoned in Hawthorne and was located by police. The suspect, however, was nowhere to be found.
The victims said they’re glad one suspect was caught, but are hoping the second suspect is located soon before another person is victimized.
“We were fortunate because no one was hurt,” said the victim’s mother. “But the money was gone and it was not a happy day for all of us.”
Crime technicians are investigating the SUV hoping to find evidence that will lead detectives to the suspect at large.
Anyone with information on the incident can call Rancho Cucamonga police at 909-941-1488.
A person was fatally stabbed just after getting off a Metro bus in South Los Angeles Tuesday afternoon.
At 2:10 p.m., Los Angeles Police Department officers responded to the Metro station at Slauson Avenue and the 110 Freeway, a spokesperson told KTLA 5 News.
Once the officers arrived, they found that the victim and assailant had exited the bus together before they got into an altercation. The assailant pulled out a blade and stabbed the victim multiple times before fleeing, police said.
That victim was pronounced dead at a local hospital.
The attacker, believed to be a white or Hispanic man about 30 years old, was still at large as of 3 p.m.
In a statement, Metro noted that “violence in the communities we serve spilling over onto our public transit systems continues to be an issue in Greater Los Angeles.”
“Metro extends its condolences to the family and friends of the victim,” the statement added.
This was the latest violent incident in or near Metro stations and vehicles in recent months. Shootings and stabbings have left several people dead, and in response, Metro officials are exploring the possibility of creating their own police force. It would supplant the LAPD, L.A. County Sheriff’s Department and Long Beach Police Department, which are contracted to secure public transit for Metro.
Anyone with information can call Crime Stoppers at 800-222-TIPS (8477).
