Leads Sought in Shooting of Bicyclist
Detectives asked for the public’s help in finding four suspects involved in the shooting death Thursday of a 14-year-old bicyclist in East Los Angeles.
The boy, whose name was withheld pending notification of relatives, died at East Los Angeles Doctors Hospital after the 11:30 a.m. shooting, said sheriff’s Deputy Mark Bailey.
The boy was riding in the 3900 block of Whittier Boulevard when a car with four suspects drove alongside him and stopped, Bailey said. Two stepped out and opened fire. Their motive is unknown.
The suspects are described as four Latino males between 15 and 20 years old with short-cropped hair. They were driving an older model, light-blue or gray station wagon.
Detectives ask that anyone with information call the sheriff’s homicide bureau at (213) 890-5500.
