Jukebox Dispute Ends in Shooting
A disagreement over music at the El Rey de Marciscos restaurant Saturday night in Anaheim snowballed into a shooting that left a 31-year-old Los Angeles man slightly injured, police said.
“Apparently this was an altercation that started over a song selection on the jukebox,” Anaheim police Sgt. Joe Vargas said Sunday. Vargas didn’t know what song provoked the 11:17 p.m. incident.
Rigoberto Peralta of Los Angeles was shot in the leg when one of four young men returned after leaving the restaurant, in the 1700 block of West La Palma. The four were in a dark, late-model pickup with an extended bed.
“Someone from the vehicle shot into the restaurant and the victim was hit in the leg,” Vargas said.
Peralta was taken to Anaheim Memorial Medical Center, where he was treated and released, Vargas said. Police have made no arrests.
