The suspect is outstanding. Gang detectives [who routinely respond to non-fatal shootings] and officers were at the location in the overnight hours seeking witnesses and possible video.

As previously reported by LBREPORT.com, a man was shot/killed at the virtually the same location (1400 block Rose Ave) at early evening June 29 (LBREPORT.com coverage here.)
