A tourist, in a residential section of Venice, was shot in the leg Wednesday after several suspects approached him and demanded his valuables
“I didn’t specifically see it, but the other employee saw that the one person was grabbing something, I think part of his body, maybe he thought he was injured,” Oh said.Police said the victim and a female companion were in the area when they were approached by three to four men. Investigators added that the suspects demanded the victim’s valuables and then shot him in the leg.
“I think people are getting to a breaking point and the values and morals are breaking down, getting to a level where they get very reckless and abandoned,” James said. The attack happened in the residential part of Dell Avenue, near Washington Boulevard, walking distance from the pier in Venice.It’s believed that the suspects drove off in a white sedan, though police said they don’t have a good description of the suspects.“It’s very unfortunate. As a citizen, what can we do? Be more careful and leave your watches at home,” Oh said.
