The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) took into custody on the evening of Feb. 16 a suspect believed responsible for the two shootings of two Jewish men in Pico-Robertson over the last two days, according to an update from the LAPD. The arrests came after the Courier’s Feb. 17 issue, which describes the shootings, had gone to press.
LAPD said, “the facts of the case led to this crime being investigated as a hate crime.” According to the Los Angeles Times, the suspect “has a history of animus toward the Jewish community.”
