CITY OF INDUSTRY : Man, 24, to Be Charged in Shooting of 2 by Market
A 24-year-old La Puente man arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and carjacking in an incident outside a mini-market in the City of Industry will be arraigned today in Citrus Municipal Court in West Covina.
William Lee Tribble will be charged with attempted murder in the shooting of Mark Garcia and Denise Perez, both 20, Los Angeles County sheriff’s investigators said.
The couple was in an AM/PM market parking lot at 13760 Valley Blvd. at 3:15 a.m. on Oct. 24 when a gunman approached, demanded their pickup and fired two shots when Garcia tried to drive away. Sheriff’s deputies said Garcia lost two fingers as a result of the shooting, and that Perez lost her right eye and part of her nose and lips. The couple’s three children, who were in the back of the pickup, were not hurt.
Tribble was arrested Friday at a state parole office during an investigation into a Nov. 21 drive-by shooting.
