Three suspects are in custody following a hit-and-run incident on the 134 Freeway that triggered a manhunt in Eagle Rock. The crash involved three vehicles and occurred around 3 p.m. on Tuesday near Figueroa Street. One person sustained moderate injuries and was taken to a hospital, while the three individuals involved in the crash fled the scene.
Authorities responded quickly, deploying both ground and aerial units to locate the suspects. During the search, an officer reportedly fired shots at a home on Eagle Vista Drive. It remains unclear if anyone inside was injured by the gunfire, but one person was found with non-life-threatening gunshot wounds.
The police have not yet released the identities of those arrested. Eyewitnesses reported seeing two women exit the home with their hands raised, while a man was apprehended after attempting to hide in a nearby backyard. The incident caused significant traffic disruptions on the eastbound lanes of the freeway, which were closed for several hours but had reopened by 9 p.m.
This event highlights the ongoing challenges law enforcement faces in managing hit-and-run situations and the subsequent risks involved in apprehending suspects. The investigation is ongoing, and further details about the shooting and the suspects are expected to be released as authorities continue their work.
