Two Suspects Arrested For Attempted Murder NR20175jc

Granada Hills: Los Angeles Police Department’s Devonshire Division announces the arrest of two suspects wanted in connection with a carjacking and shooting.

On July 20, 2020, approximately 9:45 p.m., a male and female suspect approached a male victim in the 11000 block of McLennan Avenue in Granada Hills. One suspect pistol-whipped the victim and both suspects forced him into his own vehicle. The suspects then drove away from the location with the victim. Eventually, the victim was able to escape from the vehicle and called another person (later identified as a second victim) for help. The second victim arrived and became involved in a physical altercation with one of the suspects. The suspect pistol-whipped and shot the second victim. Both suspects then fled the scene.
