LA County offers $10,000 reward in Lancaster shooting

by The AV Times Staff • December 22, 2021 3 Comments

The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors approved a $10,000 reward for information on the gunman responsible for shooting a man who was driving in Lancaster, and then hunting the injured man down at a gas station to shoot him again.

Supervisor Kathryn Barger recommended the reward, calling the shooting “ruthless.”

At about 3:10 a.m. on Dec. 3, Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies were alerted about a car-to-car shooting. The victim drove to a gas station at Challenger Way and Avenue K to call 911. While the victim was waiting for deputies to arrive, the gunman came back and shot the victim again as he lay helpless on the ground, according to Barger. The victim was struck by bullets to his head and body, and Barger said the victim remains in critical condition.

“I’m offering this reward as a plea for anyone with information about this ruthless shooting to step forward,” Barger said. “The shocking fact that the gunman circled back to find [the victim], took aim and fired while he was already injured and helpless is deplorable.

“As leaders of the Lancaster community, we must do all we can to send a clear message to criminals — your actions are unacceptable and justice will be served,” Barger added.

Detectives said the gunman was driving a white, four-door BMW sedan which had visible collision damage to the front driver and passenger sides. He was wearing a green shirt, black shorts, a baseball hat with an “LA Dodgers” logo, white socks and black shoes.

Barger urged anyone with more information to call the sheriff’s Operation Safe Streets Bureau at 661-948-8466, or Detective James Phillips at 310-601-6064. Anonymous tips can also be called in to Crime Stoppers at 800-222- TIPS (8477), or posted online at lacrimestoppers.org.

    You can see why a loose gun is a such a critical concern. L.A. liberals are terrified of being shot one day.

      What an odd comment… It seems as if you are looking forward to getting shot.

      There are areas you can go hang out at, if you really want that.

      (smh)

    Are any pictures or camera footage of the car or the shooter available?
