Los Angeles:  LAPD Wilshire Area Detective Division is investigating the shooting of two people from the 1500 block of South La Cienega Boulevard. A male and female have been identified as suspects in a multi-victim shooting that has left one victim in serious condition, with multiple gunshot wounds.

The suspects have been identified as Antwuan Marquis Giddens, an African–American male, 26 years of age and Ashlee Noel Beidleman, an African-American female, 25 years old.  Both are residents of Los Angeles and left the scene on foot.
