Duarte: February 2008 Archives
Somehow sheriff's deputies were able to determine that a man who said he was shot in Duarte was actually shot in Altadena.
Last night we reported another Duarte shooting. The victim had taken himself to an area hospital and we were going to fill in the gaps.
TUrns out it didn't happen in Duarte at all or Arcadia or Monrovia. The shooting took place several miles away in Altadena.
Injured was a Latino man. Sheriff's detectives said the shooting was gang related.
Police report a man was shot in the Monrovia Arcadia Duarte area Tuesday night. Very little is currently known. The man was described as a male hispanic. He apparently drove himself to the hospital after being shot.
The wounds were described as "non-life" threatening. This story is developing it's unclear where the shooting occurred. Police are at an undisclosed location searching for evidence.
We will update this as soon as we have more information from the Temple City sheriff's station.
This occurred Friday night in Duarte. I've heard that residents of the area have seen a significant amount of police activity last night and today.
Brian Day wrote the story:
DUARTE - A man was wounded in a possibly gang-related shooting Friday in a residential neighborhood, officials said.
The incident occurred about 9:30 p.m. in the 2500 block of Bloomdale Street, said Los Angeles County sheriff's Sgt. Mark Flores.
The victim was described as a black man about 25 years old, said Los Angeles County Fire Department Capt. Jeff Myers.
The wounded man was sitting on the curb when rescuers arrived, Myers said, and the injury did not appear to be life-threatening.
Two Latino men with shaved heads were spotted running from the location, Flores said.
One of them was detained late Friday, Flores said, although it was not immediately clear whether he was involved in the shooting.
Officials responded to a call reporting five to six shots fired when they discovered the wounded man.
The sheriff's Homicide Bureau is helping the sheriff's Temple Station with the case, Flores added.
"We are investigating this thing with everything we have," he said.
