Los Angeles police search for shooting rampage pair

Authorities are searching for 2 individuals who stole a woman’s SUV on Saturday and then went on a shooting rampage through several Los Angeles suburbs, killing 1 man and injuring up to 3.

The rampage began when a man and woman – at least one of whom was armed – forced a woman from her green SUV in Pico Rivera, a community southeast of downtown Los Angeles, around 2pm, CBS News reports.

The two suspects then fired at three or more people in neighboring communities around Whittier, Pico Rivera and La Mirada.

A witness described cars with shot-out windows and hearing multiple gunshots to CBS.The SUV was later found abandoned (not pictured) and police still hunt for the pair

‘It doesn’t appear they were target-specific or gang related,’ said Deputy Ryan Rouzan of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.

He added that the investigation is ongoing.

Rouzan said one man shot in the rampage was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Officials said the other victims were taken to hospitals. Their condition was not immediately available.

It’s unclear what the shooting victims were doing when they were shot, something Rouzan said would be revealed in the ongoing investigation.

Investigators later recovered the unoccupied SUV at a park in Santa Fe Springs.

The woman’s condition was unknown, but Rouzan said she had not been shot.

The gunman and a female companion have not yet been found.
