A gunman delivered a hurtful message, saying “this is where I do business” to a group of people in downtown Los Angeles before shooting them Thursday night, the Los Angeles Police Department told the California Post.
The shooting occurred around 7 p.m. near the intersection of Sixth Street and San Julian Street, and the search for the suspect is still ongoing.
Investigators said a man walked to the northeast corner of San Julian Street, made a statement, and then fired several shots at two men and a woman.
The three victims were injured and paramedics took them to the hospital.
Officers said their conditions were unknown at the time, but authorities later confirmed the victims were in stable condition.
The suspect fled north on foot and remains at large. Police said they did not immediately have a description.
Two of the victims are believed to be homeless.
Authorities said it remains unclear whether the shooting was gang-related.
No information was provided regarding the suspect.
