COMMERCE, Calif. (KTLA) – A parking dispute at the popular Citadel Outlets in Commerce turned into a violent, all-out brawl and robbery Wednesday that was caught on a cellphone camera.
Deputies with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department responded to reports of the fight in the parking lot along 100 Citadel Drive just after 5 p.m., authorities confirmed to KTLA.
The encounter, according to Patricia Cupa and her 19-year-old daughter Natalie Martinez, the victims, started after a trip to the outlet shops to return a sweater.
In the parking lot, the mother and daughter said they drove around for an extended period of time looking for a place to park. Once they finally found an open spot, a portion of it was blocked by the open door of another vehicle.
