Updates on gangsters caught in Birmingham shooting
As promised, Rick's got the updated news on the BHS shooting arrests.
VAN NUYS - Police arrested two gang members Friday on suspicion of shooting a man Monday outside a restaurant near Birmingham High School, authorities said.
The men, and in some cases the gun used Monday, might be tied to several other shootings, including a July gang altercation at an adjacent restaurant that left a man shot in the head, said Capt. Jim Miller, commanding officer for the LAPD Van Nuys Division.
Monday's afternoon shooting, outside a Jack in the Box restaurant at Vanowen Street and Balboa Boulevard, sent teens running and left parents and school administrators concerned about student safety amid escalating off-campus gang violence.
Sanderson Montes, 18, one of the men arrested Friday in a series of early morning search-warrant raids carried out in North Hollywood and Van Nuys, is a former Birmingham High School student, police said.
Montes, a North Hollywood resident, and the other man arrested, Walter Oswaldo Guerra, 18, of Van Nuys are both members of the Mara Salvatrucha gang, police said.
