Shotgun-Wielding Resident Missing After Shoot Out
A shotgun-wielding Echo Park resident who confronted three armed intruders was missing Thursday, and police asked for the public’s help in finding him.
The three suspects tried to enter the apartment in the 1900 block of West Clinton Street in Echo Park about 2:45 p.m. Wednesday, police said. Shots were fired and evidence at the scene indicated people had been shot and fled the scene. The tenant was also gone before officers arrived.
Investigators saw a boy drop a handgun in the bushes caught him and recovered the weapon. A 26-year-old man was shot in the upper body and was found at Kent and Alvarado streets. Both suspects, whose names were not available, were arrested on suspicion of murder.
Three hours later, detectives learned a third man, Jesus Hernandez, 21, was taken to Hollywood Presbyterian Hospital with a gunshot wound to his chest and pronounced dead.
Police have not yet found the tenant.
