Thank you to readers who emailed and commented, alerting me to this robbery and shooting that took place Monday night. The following description of the crime is from the LAPD Blog:
“On June 29, 2009, at around 11:20 p.m., a 31 year-old woman was walking east on 3rd Street near Kings Road, going to a friend’s house. The victim was approached by Suspect #1, a loan Black female, 20-25 years-old, 5 feet 5 inches tall, 145 pounds, wearing all dark clothing, who demanded the victim’s purse and indicated she would shoot the victim if she did not cooperate. The Suspect pulled the victim’s purse off of her arm and then shot the victim in the upper torso.
A witness driving east on 3rd Street approaching Orlando Avenue was flagged down by the victim who told them she had just been robbed and shot. The witness observed the suspect leaving the location in a car driving north on Kings Road and followed the car to the 100 block of South Flores Street where three suspects got out of the car and began running through the apartment complex. The suspects were described only as two male Blacks with dark complexions and one light complected female Black.”
Anyone with any information should call Detective Robert Palacios at 213-922-8266. After hours/weekends, call 1-877-LAPD-24-7 or text CRIMES (274637) and beginning the message with the letters LAPD. Tips, anonymous or otherwise, can be left at LAPD website.
No word on the woman’s condition.
