Victim Wounded After Resisting Robbery on Sepulveda Boulevard
Two women have been arrested in connection with the Aug. 4 shooting of a woman on Sepulveda Boulevard, an incident police say began as an attempted robbery of an electric bicycle.
Officers were called to the 4000 block of Sepulveda Boulevard just after 1:00 a.m. and found a woman suffering from a gunshot wound to her left forearm. Police applied a tourniquet before Culver City Fire Department personnel transported the victim to a hospital. Her injuries were described as non-life-threatening.
Investigators determined the victim was confronted by a group of suspects who tried to steal her e-bike. When she resisted, one of them opened fire before the group fled.
