Detectives are investigating the circumstances around Monday’s shooting inside a gated community in Canyon Country.
The suspect, described by law enforcement only as a Hispanic man, was struck twice in the upper torso and was transported to a local hospital to be treated for his injuries, according to Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Homicide Bureau officials.
While no other new information was available Tuesday morning, homicide detectives confirmed he was listed in critical condition.
The incident occurred around 2:20 p.m. Monday on MacMillan Ranch Road near Warm Springs Drive inside a gated community after the man drove a red Toyota Tacoma truck through the gate, forcing his way into the community, according to a Nixle released by the Sheriff’s Department.
In the video, the first individual is seen walking away with an iPad from a location in the River Ranch Townhomes in Canyon Country, wearing a white long-sleeve shirt, grey shorts, a dark baseball cap, white socks and dark sandals.
The second individual is then seen running behind the first, wearing a black shirt, black pants with a red stripe down the seam, white socks and dark sandals.
Anyone with information regarding the identities of the two are encouraged to contact Detective Rubalcava at (661) 255-1121, ext. 5151 or anonymously here.
