Detectives from the Los Angeles Police Department’s Wilshire Division are asking for the public’s help in identifying three male suspects who allegedly robbed a victim on March 22 in the 7600 block of Melrose Avenue.

The victim was walking with his girlfriend at approximately 1:40 p.m. after dining at a nearby restaurant, police said. The three suspects approached the victim, physically assaulted him and demanded his property. One of the suspects allegedly pulled out a handgun and stole a gold necklace from the victim.

The suspects were described as Black men approximately 20 to 30 years old. They fled in a red four-door sedan driven by a fourth unidentified man.

Investigators found security camera footage that shows the suspects seconds before the robbery, and the suspects’ vehicle driving away. To view the footage, visit lapdonline.org/home/news_view/67425.
