Attempted Murder Suspect Gets Himself Shot by Police in a Wild Attempt to Escape

On Oct. 31, 2023, at approximately 1200 hours, detectives were conducting surveillance in the 700 block of Via Altamira, city of Montebello, related to a Sept. 25, 2023 shooting, where it is believed the suspect shot a female adult victim in the 6000 block of Olive Avenue, Long Beach.

While detectives were conducting surveillance, the suspect left the residence and drove to a nearby gas station. Detectives followed the suspect and attempted to arrest him at the gas station. The suspect got back into the vehicle and drove into two detective vehicles and two additional vehicles as he attempted to evade arrest, at which point an officer-involved shooting occurred.

The suspect fled the area and detectives lost sight of him. A short time later, detectives located the suspect, who had returned to the 700 block of Via Altamira. Detectives took the suspect into custody and discovered the suspect had sustained gunshot wounds to the upper body. Detectives rendered medical aid until the arrival of Montebello Fire Department personnel, who transported the suspect to an area hospital where he is in stable condition. The suspect was identified as a 33-year-old resident of Montebello. He will be booked after being medically cleared at the hospital.
