Argument Escalates, Man Shot in Chest
A man was shot and seriously wounded during an argument that erupted in the carport of an apartment complex Wednesday.
Luis Clavijo was shot three times in the chest about 4:30 p.m. at the Westminster Chimes apartments in the 9600 block of Westminster Avenue, police said.
“It was the result of an argument,” Sgt. Gary Walker said. “They were drinking in the carport. An argument between the suspect and a third person started and the victim stepped in to break it up. The suspect left the carport area and returned with a gun and shot the man.”
The victim, believed to be in his 40s, was airlifted to UCI Medical Center in Orange for surgery. His condition was not known.
The suspect, Santiago Obisbo Reynosa, was still being sought by police Wednesday night. Reynosa is described as 5 feet, 7 inches tall and about 140 pounds.
He was last seen wearing a gray and white T-shirt, blue jeans and boots, police said.
