Man shot in Altadena, two arrested

| | Comments (1) |
ALTADENA -- Authorities arrested two men Friday after they allegedly wounded another man in a gang-related drive-by shooting that was witnessed by police officers.
Dalonte Andrews and Terence Bonds, both 18-year-old Pasadena residents, were jailed in connection with the shooting, Los Angeles County sheriff's Lt. Larry Landreth said.
The wounded man, who was 18-years-old, was shot once in the buttocks and had already been released from the hospital late Friday, he said.
Los Angeles police officers in plain clothes witnesses the shooting about 2:30 p.m. in the 2300 block of N. Lincoln Avenue and alerted local sheriff's deputies, the lieutenant said.
The LAPD officers followed the suspects in a Volkswagen Touareg SUV, which was later determined to be stolen, before officials stopped the vehicle and arrested the men without further incident, Landreth said.
Authorities believe the shooting was gang-related.
The suspects are believed to be associated with the Pasadena Denver Lanes Bloods gang, while the victim is believed to have ties to the Squiggly Lane Bloods gang, Landreth said.
Andrews and Bonds were booked on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon and auto theft, he added.
According to court records, Bonds, who was on parole for burglary, was being held without bail. Andrews was being held in lieu of $50,000 bail.
Both suspects are due in Pasadena Superior Court for arraignment Tuesday.
