6 Arrested in Shooting of Palmdale Man, 34
A Palmdale man was hospitalized Sunday with two gunshot wounds, and six men were arrested in connection with the shooting, Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies said.
Abraham Marquez, 34, was shot once in the face and once in the foot just before 1 a.m. in the carport of an apartment complex in the 38000 block of 11th Street East.
Based on a description provided by the caller who reported the shooting, deputies stopped six men in a white Cadillac as they left the area. Sheriff’s Sgt. Kevin Elliott said one handgun was recovered from the car and another was found at the scene. Several bullet casings also were recovered, he said.
Detectives on Sunday afternoon were interviewing the six men, all of whom were arrested on charges of assault with a deadly weapon.
Marquez was taken by helicopter to Northridge Hospital Medical Center, where the Sheriff’s Department said he was in stable condition.
