PASADENA >> One man remained hospitalized with serious injuries and another was behind bars Friday following a shooting in Northwest Pasadena the previous afternoon, police said.
The victim, a man in his 20s, arrived at a Pasadena hospital about 3 p.m. Thursday, Pasadena police Lt. Jesse Carrillo said. He was suffering from a gunshot wound to his abdomen and was listed in critical-but-stable condition.
“Hospital staff notified us of the victim and officers responded,” the lieutenant said. “Based on the preliminary statement, it appears the incident occurred in the area of Raymond Avenue and Montana Street.”
Officers canvassed the neighborhood in search of clues, detaining several people in the area for questioning, Lt. Diego Torres said.
Detectives ultimately determined Jesus Javier Miron, 19, of Pasadena, who was found on foot in the area, was the gunman, Torres said.
The motive and circumstances of the shooting remained under investigation Friday, police said. It was unclear whether the victim and suspect knew one another prior to the shooting.
Miron was booked on suspicion of attempted murder, Torres said.
According to Los Angeles County booking records, he was being held in lieu of $1 million bail pending his initial court appearance.
Police also arrested a second man, who was accompanying the victim at the hospital, on suspicion of possessing brass knuckles, Torres said. The 24-year-old Pasadena man was released from custody Friday afternoon pending his initial court appearance after posting $20,000 bail, records show.
Thursday’s shooting was the seventh in Pasadena in three weeks.
Police and city officials to host a meeting Wednesday to discuss the recent spate of violence, which began Dec. 18 with the fatal shooting of 27-year-old Robert Arthur Calderon of Altadena. The following day, a woman was wounded in a shooting during a gathering to memorialize Calderon.
Four out of the six shooting that preceded Thursday’s incident were gang-related, according to Cmdr. John Perez.
Investigators had yet to determine whether Thursday’s shooting was gang-related.
