Police have arrested a suspect who they believe is responsible for a trio of deadly shootings that happened in Harbor City and San Pedro, which also left a 1-year-old child wounded, in September.
Though they haven’t yet released the suspect’s name, Los Angeles Police Department officers said that a press conference is planned for Thursday to further discuss the charges and release details in the incidents.
According to investigators, the suspect is believed to be responsible for a string of fatal shootings that spanned from Sept. 4, 2023 to Sept. 30, 2023.
The first shooting , which happened on Sept. 4, left Carlos Loera, 21, and Ashley Guzman, 18, dead in the 1000 block of 253rd Street in Harbor City, police said.
Investigators say that the shooting occurred a little before 6:40 p.m., when the couple and their one-year-old child were inside of their car when they were approached by the gunman, who opened fire, striking all three.
While Loera and Guzman died from their injuries, the child was treated at the hospital and is said to have survived the injuries.
