- Officers investigate a shooting: On Dec. 13, 2023, at approximately 7:26 p.m., officers were dispatched to the area of Downey Avenue and Artesia Boulevard regarding an assault with a deadly weapon call. The preliminary investigation suggests the victim was in the area when he was approached by an unknown male adult suspect, and they engaged in a brief verbal altercation. The victim walked away from the suspect, got in his vehicle, and attempted to drive away from the area, which resulted in the suspect discharging a firearm towards the victim, striking his vehicle. No injuries were reported, and suspect information is unknown. The incident is being investigated as possibly gang related. The investigation is ongoing.
This information is preliminary and is intended for early information use rather than being a formal investigative report.
