Man Shot; Police Arrest 6
A 23-year-old man was shot several times after two carloads of people confronted him and several others on a neighborhood street early Sunday, Huntington Beach Police Lt. Luis Ochoa said.
Police later arrested four men and two juveniles, all of Anaheim, in connection with the shooting. The victim, whose name has not been released, is recovering at a local hospital.
The incident occurred on the 100 block of 7th Street about 3 a.m. Sunday when seven people in two cars approached a small crowd standing outside a home, Ochoa said. Several men left the cars and one fired an unknown number of rounds from a small handgun. The Huntington Beach man was hit in the leg and arm but was able to run from the scene, Ochoa said.
Soon after the shooting, Huntington Beach patrol officers at Main Street and Garfield Avenue stopped a car suspected of being involved in the shooting, arresting the driver and two passengers on suspicion of attempted murder. Three other suspects were later arrested in Anaheim in connection with the shooting.
The adult suspects, identified as Anthony Campos Luna, 20, Sergio Cabrera Rivera, 18, Ivan Ramirez Tabares, 18, and Samuel Ramirez, 20, are being held at Huntington Beach City Jail. The 15- and 17-year-old suspects, whose identities were not released, are being held at Orange County Juvenile Hall.
The shooting remains under investigation.
