Man sought in connection with Pico Rivera shooting
PICO RIVERA -- Deputies sought a 21-year-old Pico Rivera man Wednesday after he fired a gunshot at his mother's boyfriend during an argument, authorities said.
Isaac Ortega remained at-large after fleeing the scene of the 10:43 a.m. shooting inside a house in the 7200 block of Cravell Avenue, Los Angeles County sheriff's Lt. Robert Smith said.
Ortega became involved in an argument with his mother's boyfriend, a man in his late 40s, after the boyfriend told him to get a job, the lieutenant said.
Ortega then produced a black handgun and fired a single shot, which struck the interior wall of the home near the ceiling, Smith said. No one was struck by the gunfire.
Officials said Ortega then left the area in an older-model, two-door, primer gray Honda Accord with a California license plate number of 4YYJ719.
Anyone who spots Ortega is advised to call 911 immediately.
