House Raided in Fraud Probe; Man Is Shot

Secret Service and other authorities raiding the house of a woman suspected of credit card fraud shot and wounded her boyfriend in a gunfight Friday, authorities said.

Tony Ray Louden was shot after he pointed a gun at Long Beach police and agents from the Secret Service and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms who were serving search warrants on a house in the 700 block of Atlantic Avenue at 7:25 a.m., Special Agent Clint Howard said. Louden was taken to St. Mary’s Hospital and was in stable condition Friday afternoon, Howard said.

The Secret Service is called in on major fraud cases of more than $100,000. Louden was booked by Long Beach police on suspicion of assault on an officer with a deadly weapon and may face similar federal charges later, Howard said. Officials also arrested the target of the credit card fraud investigation, a woman identified as his girlfriend, Angel Marion, Howard said. She was expected to be charged with credit card fraud and held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Los Angeles, he said.
