As Twittered while the crime was in progress, a group of five male Hispanics approached two other male Hispanic brothers that were waiting at a bus stop at Venice & Beethoven with their bikes. The group of five asked, “Where you from” - a common gang provocation … and the two replied ” We don’t play that around here “. One of the men in the group of five then pulled out a semi-automatic handgun and shot the victim in the side of his leg. The suspect was described as male Hispanic, mid 20′s wearing a baggy grey shirt, black pants and a black baseball cap.
The group fled on foot, and the gun was discarded and recovered near Lyceum. The victim was taken to Marina Del Rey Hospital and is reported to be in stable condition. Several suspects were detained but no arrests have been made. It is believed the suspects fled the area immediately.
