Probe continues in Rosemead restaurant shooting

ROSEMEAD -- Detectives specializing in Asian crime are investigating whether a drive-by shooting that left four people wounded at a Vietnamese restaurant earlier this week was related to Asian organized crime or to another area shooting that occurred in February, officials said.
"Were looking into that, but it hasn't been confirmed," Kim said of the possible connections.
Four male victims in their late teens and early 20s were having dinner at the My-Dung restaurant, near Garvey Avenue and San Gabriel Boulevard, shortly after 9 p.m. Tuesday when they decided to go out and have a cigarette, he said.
They were fired on by a group of attackers inside a black compact car, Kim added. A description of the suspects themselves was not available.
Three of the wounded had been released from the hospital Thursday, he said, and the fourth remained hospitalized in stable condition.
Kim said he did not know Thursday if the victims in Tuesday's attack had any ties to street gangs.
Though officials have not established a firm link, Tuesday's attack bears similarities to a brazen Feb. 5 shooting at crowded a San Gabriel coffee house in which one man was killed and five people were wounded.
Anyone with information is asked to call the sheriff's Temple Station.
