Police are still seeking a gunman who shot a victim on The Grove Drive on Nov. 2 and fled in a Lamborghini after an argument in the parking structure at Erewhon Market and the Broadcast Center Apartments at 7660 Beverly Blvd.
A video captured in the parking structure and broadcast by the media shows three men arguing near the entrance around 3:20 p.m. Just outside the parking structure, one of the men pulled a handgun and shot one of the other men. The suspect was captured on video reentering the parking structure and driving away southbound on The Grove Drive.
Los Angeles Police Department spokeswoman Annie Moran said the victim drove himself to a hospital. During an interview at the hospital, he told officers the suspect attempted to steal his watch prior to the shooting. No other injuries were reported.
The gunman was described as Black, approximately 6 feet tall with dreadlocks. He was wearing a white shirt and black pants. The vehicle was described as a black Lamborghini sedan. Police are working to obtain the license plate number.
Detectives are investigating a separate robbery that occurred around 7:10 p.m. on Nov. 2 near Melrose and Genesee avenues in which four suspects stole a female victim’s Rolex watch. A witness waiting for a ride-hailing driver told police she heard a scuffle and saw four men dragging a victim on the ground by her arm.
When the witness tried to intervene, one of the suspects pulled out a handgun and told her to “step back,” police said. The suspects, described as Black men wearing dark clothing and dark masks, were last seen fleeing in a gray Toyota Prius. Authorities have not tied the two crimes to the same suspects.
